Iran Gets the Keys to the UN

Under threat of United Nations Security Council sanctions for its own nuclear program, Iran has been elected to a vice-chair position on the U.N. Disarmament Commission, whose mission includes preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. ... "This is the U.N. fiction, which brings us close to nuclear war with each passing day," Bayefsky said. "The allusion is to universal democracy, though the majority of voters is non-democratic and include thugs, racists and war-mongers." ... "The U.N. has long ago forfeited its role as an international body safeguarding international peace and security and this is just the latest proof of why the U.N. doesn't work," Gold said of Iran's election to vice chair the Disarmament Commission.

The article goes on to mention that Iran has put a lot of effort into getting as many comity seats in the UN as possible. I think it is getting to the point where Iran is using it's oil wealth to set up the UN to bow out of a pending Middle East power play in the, oh, let's say five to ten year range.
I could go the worry-wart route and say that "doomsday is nigh ..." but I'm just not in the mood. You know, things will work themselves out. It is just a question of who will be the one to make the most of the situation. China and Russia are making a big mistake by supporting Iran. I doubt Iran trusts them. These are not stupid people we are talking about. They must know that any of them would sell the other out over a drop of oil.
