U.N. Security Council resolutions indeed look more and more like pieces of torn paper, fig leafs to justify imperial aggression. Far from embodying the will of the international community, the Security Council is acting as the talking shop of the White House's war cabinet.
The Security Council decided 'unanimously' to impose sanctions on Iran. Because in the distorted imagination of the neocons, Iran is building the bomb. No proof needed, just the words – the lies – of the neocons. Russia, China and France put up some weak opposition, but in the end - again - followed Uncle Sam. The ten non-permanent members didn't dare to go against the Five Big Brothers.
WMD in Saddam's Iraq – none; collaboration with Al Qaeda – none; nuclear weapons in Iran – none. Once again a UN Security Council resolution is paving the way for the U.S. to invade a sovereign UN member country.
The Security Council is well on the way to become irrelevant. Unjust resolutions can achieve nothing because the people will oppose them. They achieve the opposite of what was intended. Shame on the 'diplomats'. Can't they come up with something that perhaps may achieve its intended purpose?
Israel wants to create conditions conducive to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. To be able to do that, Iran has to be wiped of the map. Moreover, Iran is the principal obstacle to Western imperial ambitions in the Middle East.
As David Lindorff wrote on the CounterPunch website, “an attack on Iran would be an unmitigated disaster” and “there is no way the U.S. could hope to conquer Iran” (Crime of the Century). And again, the war mongers in Washington will try the unthinkable.
