Yes, but it would also be a Stern Non-binding Radio Signal

Ben Shapiro imagines a possible U.N. response to the proposed "Gravity Tractor", a device designed to protect Earth from a major asteroid strike:

VENEZUELA: "This is a plot by the Bush administration to escape culpability for America's part in the global warming crisis. Satan W. Bush is deflecting attention from the fact that America is heating Earth up like a giant microwave. Bush is hoping that the asteroid hits Venezuela, ending the global warming crisis by blotting out the sun."

From: "Would the United Nations Stop an Asteroid?. In all fairness to the U.N., it's not merely a matter of "would" despite the unaccountable admission of rogue nations to the mix, but "could." Gravity Tractors--? What's next? Airborne-laser volcano lancing--?!

No: of course this post isn't serious. Too bad the same can be said of the U.N.
