This story is essentially a dupe from last week:3 27222 [soylentnews.org]
https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=14/05/09/1
Or we could do it this way:
Terminator: UN Planing to Debate Killer Robots Next Week
Terminator Judgment Day: UN Starts to Debate Killer Robots
Terminator Rise of the Machines: UN Debating Killer Robots
Terminator Salvation: UN Finishes Debating Killer Robots
Terminator Genesis: Last Week the UN Debated Killer Robots
And then two season series-
Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles: UN Commissions 2 Year Study of Killer Robots
