i was especially drawn to this statement, in a "wtf??" kind of way... :blink

Rice said it was time for the Security Council to act if the world body wished to remain credible.

"The Security Council is the primary and most important institution for the maintenance of peace and stability and security and it cannot have its word and its will simply ignored by a member state," Rice said.

umm... the un has been worthless for quite a long time - what makes them think they can be effective now!? :blink

I think the statement above it is the key. Trying to give some legitamacy to the UN.

It's sort of a double standard though as we ignored them when we went into Iraq, kind of making them appear not legitimate at all...

and saddam ignored them (the un) for how many decades!? :erm

my opinion, the un is already fucked, and will never be anything, but if they don't take a major stand now, they're going to be way beyond repair... :erm

Closer to 20 years but very true

Does this seem to remind anyone of anything.......to me it looks like the set up of a push to go into Iran just like we did in Iraq.....maybe i'm just paraniod but it does look that way to me....... :blink

[The_Dark]

Not really. The differance here is that it's not us pushing forward to war. This time it's Iran doing all the pushing...

Selling who what? Iran? We have not sold Iran anything since the Iran Contra thing 30 years ago and even then the people that were involved got in a lot of trouble. We have had no real contact with iran since 1979.
