Almost all of the UN Security Council except Russia and China condemn Iran’s move to develop nuclear weapons. Oh well, maybe those two will come around. Or NOT!
Iran does not even repeat any more the hilarious fiction that the country in the world with the second greatest reserves of natural gas [after Russia] is going nuclear for its “energy needs.” Now the ex-terrorist hostage-taker President of Iran proclaims the “right” to make a bomb.
Happily, even the normally supine Europeans have objected and the Bush/Merkel meeting has resulted in a strong
condemnation of Iran’s new nuke policy.
But China is thirsty for Iranian oil and Russia makes money from helping Iran develop the nukes, so those two sturdily moral guiding lights of the international scene are a sure bet to equivocate on a UNSC meeting. Plus maybe Russia and Iran can set higher natural gas prices if the relationship remains stable.
My guess is that the UN will be as effective in thwarting Iran’s nuclear ambitions as it has been quelling the Sudanese genocide in Darfur. Any takers?

The US is apparently serious about the war on terror because the natural progression after Afghanistan and Iraq is Iran. So pressing allies for UN action is great but they should encourage the Iranian people for action from within and back them up militarily through UN if they need it. The Iranian people are their number one ally and they are ready for change. They’ve been waiting for their turn to be liberated ever since the US invaded Afghanistan. They knew their day would come and it seems like it’s coming soon.
Allahu Akbar.
