Meryl just mentioned “The lack of world condemnation of the Israeli raid on an nascent Syrian nuclear plant…“, and here it comes:
Mohamed ElBaradei accuses Jewish state of ‘taking the law into its own hands’, says ‘if countries have information that another country is working on a nuclear-related program, they should come to us’
Yes, them are strong words ElBaradei has for the jingoist Zionist pirates. Law and order, law and order, ladies and gentlemen! After all, this is what the mighty UN is for.
Let’s see what is it precisely that Mr Elbaradei has in mind for Syrians.
…if countries have information that the country is working on a nuclear-related program, they should come to us. We have the authority to go out and investigate,” he said.
Uhu. Got it? They will come and investigate.
Like they did with that reactor in Iraq.
Like they did in the Balkans.
Like they do in Darfur.
Like they do in Congo.
Like…
Thanks, but no thanks.

That’s the attitude of politics these days – if you talk about something, then it’s as good as done, so you don’t need to actually do anything.
You can go back to your constituents, point out your wonderful speeches, get thunderous applause, and get re-elected. And hey, if a few million more innocent people you’ve never met are slaughtered in a country you’ve never heard of, well that’s somebody else’s problem.
You forgot to mention the Libyan bomb production program, which was done under the noses of IAEA inspectors.

And the IAEA has been so effective at getting iran to live up to its obligationsw under the NPT. If Iran’s program was peaceful it would not have to be secret. The whole UN operates today as a toady to the OIC.
