The UN and Iran, an Excercise in Futility
How long will it take for the world community to come to a consensus on Iran? In the news today was continued posturing from members in the world community on the Iranian nuclear issue. It is very clear that there will be no consensus and in reality no sanctions will be taken against Iran in the near future.
The threat of turning off the oil to dissenting countries is such a big stick that even world community leaders are increasingly finding it difficult to take sides for fear of severe economic impact in their own economy. It has become an exercise in futility to restrain Iran.
As I watch the scenario, it seems clear to me that Iran will continue to operate outside the bounds of acceptable diplomatic activities, but that nothing will be able to stop them in their drive for nuclear weapons.
