Iran Threatens to Pull Out of Nuke Treaty

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran renewed its threats to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty on Sunday, with its president saying sanctions would be "meaningless" and its parliament seeking to put a final end to unannounced inspections of its nuclear facilities.

Sounds a little familiar, doesn't it? Wasn't it about 4 years ago we were going through the same thing just a few hundred miles to the west of Iran?

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said:

"If a signature on an international treaty causes the rights of a nation be violated, that nation will reconsider its decision and that treaty will be invalid,"

In this case, I guess unilateralism is OK. I certainly don't heard any hue and cry about the "cowboy" in Iran not abiding by the wishes of a majority of nations and endangering the world, even though his expressed goals are the destruction of Israel, the United States and the establishment of the Caliphate. Maybe it's just me, or does someone have the answer of how he plans to do this with just the development of electricity.

The Western nations want to invoke Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter that would allow economic sanctions or military action, if necessary, to force Iran's compliance. Russia and China, the other two permanent Security Council members — all of whom have veto power — oppose such moves.

Once again proving that the U.N. is going to prove to be a toothless entity. Any time someone with economic ties with a rogue state sees there profits threatened, the whole house of cards comes crashing down into a bunch of weak and meaninless resolutions that threaten that we'll hold our breath until we turn blue if you don't do mind us.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad again:

"It's clear that any action by the U.N. Security Council will leave a negative impact on our cooperation with the IAEA," he said, adding that such action would "change the path of cooperation to confrontation."

In other words, if you don't let us do what we were going to do, we'll just do it anyway.

Unless someone takes the threats made by this madman seriously, right now, the Middle East is going to be the not so Cold War of the 21st century. Mutually Assured Destruction is not factor considered by someone who beleives dying for Allah (piss be upon him)is going to get him a ticket to Paradise.
