Condi wants the UN to get tough

Posted by Moonage on 14 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: International Issues

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Tuesday she was confident the U.N. Security Council would agree on a "very strong message" to send to Iran over its suspected nuclear weapons program.

What Condi is expecting is for the UN to grow a body part after it’s fully
matured.  Second, "very strong messages" don’t cut it with Iran at this
point.  They have openly defied all "very strong messages" to this point
and I’m quite sure they’re about as concerned with the Security Council as I am
at this point.  The Security Council pretty much rendered itself useless
over Iraq.  Fifteen years of "very
strong messages" to Iraq
didn’t amount to squat.  What did resolve the
issue was bombs and missiles doled out pretty much exclusively by the US. 
I for one don’t think the world can put this issue off for a decade and hope
they can keep an eye on Iran.  It’s going to take a lot more than "very
strong messages" to change Iran’s mind.  I don’t think the UN has the spine
to do it.
