Iran “Won’t Give a Damn” About U.N. Resolutions
Friday, April 28th, 2006Sounds just like Saddam. We know the drill.
AP reports: “Iran ‘won’t give a damn’ about any U.N. resolutions concerning its nuclear program, its president said Friday, hours before an expected finding that Tehran has failed to meet a Security Council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment.”
The anticipated finding by U.N. nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei will set the stage for a confrontation at the Security Council.
If Iran does not comply, the council is likely to consider punitive measures against the Islamic republic. While Russia and China have been reluctant to endorse sanctions, the council’s three other veto-wielding members say a strong response is in order.
No doubt. But a few tersely-worded (though always diplomatic) letters might not be enough in this case. Maybe it’s time to send in the secret weapon: Cindy Sheehan, Sean Penn, Charlie Sheen and Alec Baldwin, and all the rest making up the merry band of anti-military activists to “talk tough,” real tough, more about letting the U.N. do its job, and how “inspections” work.
President Bush should deploy them immediately.
