Criticizing the UN as if it's some type of self sustaining body is spurious. We ARE the UN. We've got an ambassador, we sit on the security council, we send them money occasionally, etc. If the UN isn't an effective body then it's our fault - we are part of the UN. It'd be like returning from a vacation with your wife having agreed to all of it and then, once home, telling your wife how stupid and ineffective her vacation plans were. Secondly, there's not a lot anyone can do to a rich country with an authoritarian gov't. Especially when the US is totally maxed out militarily. Iran knows that nobody can really invade them right now or really do anything ... save one country: Israel. Now should the Iranians piss off Israel somehow, they'd be in for it, but that would trigger a whole regional war which Iran also knows. So unfortunately, due to poor US foreign policy, Iran and North Korea hold trump cards and the US can't play. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168676 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
