Toothless, frail, old, tigers. - My brother forwarded a Reuters article by Francois Murphy which illustrates the fact that the United Nations is a pointless organization.
Murphy writes:
Iran defied the United Nations on Tuesday by announcing it would go on converting a large amount of raw uranium to prepare it for enrichment, a process that can be used to develop atomic bombs.
Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told reporters Iran had begun converting 37 tons of raw "yellowcake" uranium to process it for use in nuclear centrifuges -- the machines that enrich uranium.
The U.N.'s answer to this is to consider more sanctions. To which Aghazadeh basically shrugged and said so what, they've been dealing with U.S. sanctions for twenty five years.
Cox and Forkum have a great illustration for this here.
