U.S. To Punish Tehran Without U.N.'s Help

If the U.N. proves once again to be useless, UN Ambassador John Bolton says we may "work instead with like-minded nations to punish Tehran for its nuclear programs."

The United States, which has its own sanctions on the Islamic republic, is lobbying for the United Nations Security Council to impose international sanctions on Iran but faces resistance from veto holders Russia and China.
"If for whatever reason the council couldn't fulfill its responsibilities, then I think it would be incumbent on us, and I'm sure we would press ahead to ask other countries or other groups of countries to impose those sanctions," John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, told a House of Representatives government reform subcommittee.

The UN has time and time again proven to be a mostly worhtless organization in terms of diplomacy and world order. A few of their informative and charitiable organizations are decent, to say the least.

They try to take our soverignty under a banner of world peace in international brotherhood, on the idea they can run America better than we can, but when the time comes to take action, they sit on their hands. If anything, it has provided a forum for extortion, shady deals, and cowardice pacifism.

Oil For Food, Iraq, what's next? An organization who claims to be noble by uniting the world for a common good does nothing to rally just nations when a terrorist country threatens some of the most powerful nations on Earth with nucelar attacks and sucicide bombers.

Pathetic.
