HeavyHanded: Taking Iran to the UN Security Council might have negative consequences? The U.N. is supposed to be the moral conscience of the global community? They are the ones that are supposed to role up their sleeves, dig right in, and be the ultimate trouble shooter? And keep ourselves safe from .... well .... ourselves?

But we cannot send the Iran nuclear problem to the U.N. Security Council because it might have negative consequences? What the hell?

I'm digressing a little here, but why is it that a rather significant portion of those who are left of center like to use the argument that we need to go through the UN for these kind of matters; and criticize the Bush administration for not giving the UN and nuclear weapons inspectors enough time to do their job in Iraq, but then take the contradictory position and say the Bush administration isn't doing enough on the Iran and North Korea nuclear problems? Why does the UN get a pass here?

Is it possible that they truly don't believe in what they are saying? Is it possible that it is just hollow rhetoric? Hmmmm? Anything to bash Bushitler, right? Facts and contradictions don't matter. Right?

How can the UN effectively operate if "we"are concerned that an action possibly to be taken might "have negative consequences"? It cannot. It does not. It (UN) is in fact ineffectual.

Allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons might have negative consequences, might it not? Allowing them the possibility to fulfill their dreams to wipe Israel off the map, could be considered a negative consequence, no?
