Telegraph: Reports on the following statement by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, " Iran is using the same methods as North Korea to develop its nuclear capabilities, requiring "firm, decisive and effective" action by the Security Council, the United Nations secretary general has warned. ".
Lets Get Real:
It can be postulated that the UN Chief sees the UN going the way of the League of Nations in the 1930s, if the UN can not deal with two of the most important threats to World security in the 21st Century what is the point of its existence. The North Koreans can not be touched, they are a nuclear armed nation, if they attacked they could cause mass deaths in the region, also Japan could become a target. This could force Japan to go nuclear in the near future. As for Iran the Oval has a very short time scale to act, Israel will not allow a nuclear armed Iran, thus either the Oval can get real talks or Israel will have to act, with or without US approval, they have in 1981 over Iraq and 2007 over Syria and of late of course. The Oval might wish that these problems go away, they will not, it will not be peace in our time, any time soon folks.
