The second difference is the dress code- the ensembles at a fan convention tend to be considerably more novel."

"However, I think, first of all, that what's happening in Sierra Leone is going to have the great influence on those governments who will be asked to provide forces to the Congo. Second, of course, the Security Council has no professional military advice organized in any way."
