The United Nations Gets Another Chance to Show Its Resolve On Sanctions
Well, I for one am not holding my breath on the United Nations being able to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue any better than the way they have tried to deal with the Iranian uranium enrichment issue. In fact, have you heard of any resolutions or sanctions against Iran after all the top level discussions between world powers, NO. Do you actually think that anything will happen with the North Korean issue?
In fact I think that Kim Jong Il the leader or North Korea is basking in the sudden world attention. Remember the adage with children "negative attention is better than no attention". Now, I am not saying that North Korea is to be treated as a child, but it is clear that Kim Jong thirsts for a world stage from past history and boy is he getting it this time.
China and Russia have put the kabash on the United Nations or any other nation, namely the US, from seeking a military invasion to correct the problem, but just as equally world powers are diluting the effectiveness of any sanctions just as France and others have with the sanction talk for Iran.
I think the best resolution at this point is to tie up Iran and North Korea with a non-proliferation treaty instead of trying to stop the ball that they have set rolling. I do not personally believe, at this time, that either country can be stopped from progressing with their nuclear drive. In fact, as the United Nations wrestles with wording on sanctions that both of these countries will simply ignore, their drive for additional nuclear research continues.
Well, so sorry to be so cynical on this topic, but I am simply looking at the reality. The United Nations has done nothing with Iran, and now the United Nations will do nothing with North Korea. If you are buying stock, now is a good time to buy airline stock (I say this tongue in cheek) as all kinds of diplomats will be flying around in the near future to try to find a solution that in the end will never be enacted or and will never be obeyed.
