Paper birds are not the answer
While we can debate whether or not war is the answer (I think it depends on the question - Iraq yes, Canada no), I think we can all agree that a massive air drop of paper peace birds is most definitely not the answer. (h/t Jim Robbins in the Corner)
Unless the question is "What would happen if Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra thinks he's really Sadako?"
A personal note: our trivia group once sat in the Roanoke Hooter's and folded paper cranes out of napkins. We weren't trying to stop a war or cure leukimia; we were trying to amuse ourselves and the waitress and possibly get laid. But we had about as much chance of succeeding at that as Shinawatra had with his paper cranes.
