Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
Hey i am 100% in agreement it is impotent because the US blocks everything. 90% of all the reform planned for the UN is being blocked by the US. SC- GA - ECOSOC all blocked by the US. Peace Building Commission blocked by the US because they want no mention of economic development. How the hell do you have Peace Building if you don't develop the countries economy and infrastructure.
But that doesn't answer your point oh Hater-of-Islam (HoI) - how does Iran having a nuclear program affect UN and EU credibility?
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
We'll CM UN's nuclear watchdog has adopted a resolution calling on Iran to halt nuclear fuel development so the UN's credibility could be put on the line depending on what Iran decides to do.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
The IAEA is not a binding resolution. Btw if this was the case the UN's credibility broke in 1947 when India, the US and Israel refused to agree to binding UNSC resolutions.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union’s credibility on the line
While the ensuing nuclear holocaust would save the world from dealing with the constant violence in the ME, it would also hinder our ability to extract oil from those lands, so your wet dream scenario is not feasible.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union’s credibility on the line
Or maybe it’s based not the fact that he holds the belief that using the bomb on Japan saved lives overall, something that has been repeated again and again. Look what the Japanese did in Nanjing (killed 300,000, 20,000 women raped). You ignore that the Japanese were a brutal regime and a surrender was not offered. I surprise there aren’t those here complaing that Nazi Germany was attacked, all in due time i’m sure.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
Like i said i don't ignore it. But do i accept a using a nuclear weapon to end a war? Nope. But as you support nukes to save lives in Japan. You would have no problem with Al Qaeda nuking a city to save muslim lives? After all the reason the nuclear bombs were used were to save american lives.
Back to credibility, if one resolutions marks the end of credibility, the US caused that to happen a long time ago.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union’s credibility on the line
As if a nuke on US would save Muslim lives.
The Japanese were not in a position to retaliate. The US is. The loss of Muslim lives in South Asia and ME that would ensue would make Nagasaki look like child’s play.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
Yes it would. MAD is a very simple and effective principle.
Yes thank you. They could not retaliate. They could not fight back. Basically at the end of the day it is a simple equation for you lot. Those nukes saved american lives. So the same should be applicable to the Muslims. After all saving lives is the main issue of concern.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
The part where you think killing 160,000 people in 10 seconds and 100,000s afterwards saved lives. This is a mantra being stated for decades. It is one historians from Japan and other place say is not true including Western Europe. Only Americans believe this stupidity. There is an excellent article on BBC stating how the Japanese were ready to negotiate but the US decide to go ahead with the bombings.
Btw thanks for pointing exactly what we all think. Americans you include view the majority cupable for the actions of a minority. So if Al Qaeda nukes a US city you are going to go after innocent muslims. But hey i expect nothing less from you.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
Hey, kick 'em out of your mountains and we won't have to. Shut down the violence-spewing madrassahs. Alienate the violent sects so they don't get the quiet go-ahead support they are currently getting. We'd rather be spending our military dollars in countries with oil anyway.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union's credibility on the line
Can we discuss the subject at hand or are you gonna whine and bitch about other issues. We already know you hate Islam, you got nothing to prove there.
Re: Iran puts United Nations and European Union’s credibility on the line
The title should be amended to add that Russia and China’s creditability is on the line especially with new information being leaked that more highly enriched uranium has been found. As these reports are confirmed China and Russia will no longer be able to skirt the issue. An illegal nuclear program cannot be allowed to exist and those who have violated such agreements must face consequences.
**Diplomats: Enriched uranium found in Iran**
Friday, May 12, 2006; Posted: 12:09 p.m. EDT (16:09 GMT)
**VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- The U.N. atomic agency found traces of highly enriched uranium at an Iranian site linked to the country's defense ministry, diplomats said Friday, adding to concerns that Tehran was hiding activities aimed at making nuclear arms.**
The diplomats, who demanded anonymity in exchange for revealing the confidential information, said the findings were preliminary and still had to be confirmed through other lab tests. But they said the density of enrichment appeared to be close to or above the level used to make nuclear warheads.
Still, they said, further analysis could show that the traces match others established to have come from abroad. The International Atomic Energy Agency determined earlier traces of weapons-grade uranium were imported on equipment from Pakistan that Iran bought on the black market during nearly two decades of clandestine activity discovered just over three years ago.
Uranium enriched to between 3.5 percent and 5 percent is used to make fuel for reactors to generate electricity. It becomes suitable for use in nuclear weapons when enriched to more than 90 percent.
Iran's refusal to give up enrichment ambitions has led to involvement by the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to impose sanctions but remains split on how firmly to pressure Tehran.
Key U.N. Security Council members agreed Tuesday to postpone a resolution that would have delivered an ultimatum to Tehran, giving Iran another two weeks to re-evaluate its insistence on developing its uranium enrichment capabilities.
Iran's hard-line president said Friday that his country was not afraid of possible U.S. military action over its enrichment program, but added that he thought any such strikes were very unlikely. Washington has said it favors a diplomatic end to the dispute, but it hasn't ruled out military force.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also told a local TV station that Iran would cooperate with the Security Council if it makes a decision on the escalating standoff as long as the world body acts "in line with international rules."
The Islamic republic denies accusations it wants to make nuclear arms and says it is only interested in uranium to generate power.
To argue that it never enriched uranium domestically to weapons grade, it cites the IAEA's tentative conclusion last year that weapons-grade traces collected from other sites within the country with no suspected ties to that military came in on equipment from Pakistan.
The origin of the samples now under perusal created some concern in that regard.
One of the diplomats told The Associated Press that the samples came from equipment that can be used in uranium-enriching centrifuges at a former research center at Lavizan-Shian.
The center is believed to have been the repository of equipment bought by the Iranian military that could be used in a nuclear weapons program.
The United States alleges Iran had conducted high-explosive tests that could have a bearing on developing nuclear weapons at the site.
The State Department said in 2004 that Lavizan's buildings had been dismantled and topsoil had been removed in attempts to hide nuclear weapons-related experiments. The agency subsequently confirmed that the site had been razed.
In an April 28 report to the U.N. Security Council and the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors, agency head Mohamed ElBaradei said the agency took samples from some of the equipment of the former Physics Research Center at Lavizan-Shian. The diplomat said the evaluation of those samples revealed the traces in question.
Ahmadinejad's remarks on possible U.S. military action were made in Jakarta during a discussion with Indonesian Islamic leaders.
Asked whether his country was prepared to face an attack by the United States, he said "that is very unlikely because they know the Islamic Republic of Iran is a strong country."
"They are trying to frighten our country by waging a propaganda campaign using strong words. The people of Iran and the country are not afraid of them," he said to applause from the audience.
The Chinese and Russians have balked at British, French and U.S. efforts to put the resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter.
Such a move would declare Iran a threat to international peace and security and set the stage for further measures if Tehran refuses to suspend its uranium enrichment operations. Those measures could range from breaking diplomatic relations to economic sanctions and military action.
