UNconcerned, Ahmadinejad May Disappear

The UN is unhappy with US and Barack Obama - soon they may pull Hans Blix from moth balls to write us a strongly worded letter.  Apparently it's not legal to go around summarily executing terrorists.
"In respect of the recent use of deadly force against Osama bin Laden, the United States of America should disclose the supporting facts to allow an assessment in terms of international human rights law standards," they said.
"It will be particularly important to know if the planning of the mission allowed an effort to capture bin Laden...." Navi Pillay, the top U.N. human rights official, also called on Tuesday for light to be shed on the killing, stressing that all counter-terrorism operations must respect international law.
The Germans aren't happy either, paraphrasing the false Martin Luther King quote that circulated earlier this week.  To quote the Christian Science Monitor:
Almost everyone in mainstream German politics has expressed relief about bin Laden's death, but the celebrations in the US were watched with much bafflement here. In Germany, politicians are typically loath to use emotionally charged language or utter politically inflammatory language – a lasting legacy of Germany’s violent past.
 Godwin's law to take affect in 4, 3, 2....

Erstwhile there's a disappearing act of sorts happening in the good country of Iran.  Early reports have Ahmadinejad (Iranian for "little crazy man in a Members Only jacket") stepping down now that his advisors have been arrested for.... sorcery.  Yes - you read that right - all this time, those weird hand motions of his were summoning the dark side.  How convenient that this is happening when the SEALs have just uncovered a treasure trove of sensitive documents highlighting yet-to-be-revealed international terrorist connections.  Could it be that Ahmad is connected to the dark side in a way that spells trouble for the Ayatollah Khamenei? I'd say it's as least as likely as Castle Anthrax being secretly relocated to Germany by the naughty Zoot.
