Iran Stepping Up Nuclear Research

Just what is going on with the world community and the United Nations. While self interested countries are haggling over what should be done with sanctions and Iran, Iran is forging ahead with nuclear research. In fact not only are they forging ahead, but they are re-doubling their efforts and trying to have a nuclear bomb before the world gets around to doing anything.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that France and Russia are try to soft peddle the Iranian sanctions and Iran is simply taking advantage of the delays to become nuclear!

By the time the United Nations finally resolves the issue, the sanctions will be so watered down that the only people who will be affected will be nuclear scientists on the project. Sanction will be created along these lines... scientists will be forbidden from traveling to Greenland and then only if they are going to visit their grandmother. Well something as ridiculous as that.

I just do not see that these countries who get a major portion of their oil or supply technology to Iran will pony up to the bargaining table to sign their name to a paper that will hurt their Iranian buddies. That alone is a very sad statement on what the United Nations has become; a political mouthpiece for the world where only self interest is at play.

I think that the United Nations could simply roll up its carpet and disband as clearly it can accomplish nothing, can enforce nothing, and can do nothing. I for one am not holding my breath for any kind of Iranian sanctions to be put into action now or in the near future.
