Weak response only invites more of same...

(You can read Cox & Forkum's related commentary and links here.)

The U.N. has once again shown that they are good for nothing.

From Neal Boortz:
THE U.N. CAN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT

The worthless United Nations continues to be useless. Iran goes into Iraqi waters and kidnaps 15 British sailors, one of them a woman, and the best they can do is to express "grave concern." Oh wow! Grave concern! I'm sure that really curled some beards in Iran. The U.N. originally intended to "deplore" the hostage-taking, but Russia objected. And here we thought that Putin was mad at Iran for not paying its bills! I guess not.

Face it. The U.N.'s response to this naked aggression shows that the organization serves no practical purpose and should be downgraded to a Sunday afternoon tea society. [...]

Neal is just warming up... it's worth reading the whole thing.


In another article, the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran may
only be a few days away from making weapons grade uranium:

[...] The IAEA also is waiting for Iran to respond to its requests to install remote cameras at key locations at Iran's underground enrichment plant at Natanz.

No enrichment is yet taking place at Natanz, but diplomats accredited to the IAEA said Friday it may start within days. If so, those cameras are crucial for IAEA experts in their efforts to monitor possible attempts to reconfigure machinery there into making weapons grade uranium — used in the fissile core of nuclear warheads. [...]

So far, there hasn't been much in the way of serious consequences for Iran, so it continues to do as it likes. The lack of response by the U.N. and the Western powers emboldens them further... where is it all going to end?
