Baffling...How can Iran Withdraw From a Treaty Iran has Broken ... or Who Cares About the Treaty?

@ 10:56 AM (85 months, 21 days ago)

 

I guess I just don't understand the logic of my friends from the middle east.

Iran's parliament threatened the nation's withdrawal from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty if the United Nations pressures Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment. 

The UN security council, meanwhile, remains at odds on a resolution over Iran's nuclear program.

In a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Iranian lawmakers said they would force the government to withdraw from the treaty if "the U.N. Secretary General and other members of the Security Council fail in their crucial responsibility to resolve differences peacefully."

 

Why would a threat like this make any possible sense?

  1. Ian knows full well the UN is a weak institution, and is laughable at best. They're just the only ones with the cajones at this point to act on that knowledge.

    That is the only thing I think Iran has right.

  2. Let me get this straight...Iran bails on the UN and it is fine and business as usual. The President acts morally after the UN bails on the United States and it is a huge problem?

    This sounds like a Dr. Seuss story.
