WHo are we really?NATO yesterday dismissed a United Nations request for a second Berlin airlift to help hundreds of thousands of earthquake survivors stranded for two weeks in the mountains of northern Pakistan.
Helicopters are the only means of getting supplies in large numbers into the Himalayan foothills of Pakistani Kashmir and North West Frontier province. Earlier this week, Jan Egeland, the UN's emergency relief co-ordinator, called on NATO to mount a massive airlift on the scale of the 1948-49 airlift to the beleaguered people of Soviet- blockaded West Berlin.
However, a NATO source said: "There is no question of the alliance doing that. That was Berlin after World War II and this is Pakistan now - there is absolutely no comparison.

I was officially the worst eployee because I know nothing about movies. I had only seen like 10 in my whole life at that point and people would ask me all sorts of questions. For examle, "yu know that movie about the girl with long brown hair?" People seriously expected an answer to those kind of questions. I always referred them to "the book" or suggested the movie in closest reach. I was so bad at that job. The carpet today gave me flashbacks.
Ironically that was my second bad viacom job. The first one I worked at a sports store witin King's Dominion theme park. People would ask for specific team stuff. I woukd always ask dumb questions like, "tell me, is that footballl, baseball, or hockey?" They hated me.
Cool. I now have a fair estimate of when I might get all my answers. Cheers! ;-)
did you really just respond to that comment THREE YEARS later?? haha
I somehow missed (e:joshua)'s comment here. Those shoes were so comfy. I wore them till they fell apart. It was like wearing slippers with a rugged leather exterior.
That hair comment is funny. That takes me back to "Clerks" I really need to rewatch that again. Not knowing what sport a team plays is funny to, sounds like something from a comedy show or movie that would never happen in real life. Some store uses those bad questions in there add where the sales guy talks about the movie they are looking for, yeah like that would ever happpen.
Are those shoes comfortable?
