UN sanctions Iran

Because Iran has failed to comply with the demands of the IAEA for transparency in its nuclear program, the UN has enacted its first salvo of sanctions against the nation, prohibiting the sale of nuclear technology and material to Iran.  Iran, obviously, is pissed off, claiming the US and the UN are using a double standard, as they have entirely ignored Israel's confirmed possession of at least 200 nuclear warheads.  Nevertheless, these sanctions are a reminder from the UN that Iran is a party to the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty and should abide by it.

Let us all speculate about the shitstorm that will come in the following months and years.

Ayn Rand's "Jewy" philosophy failed the moment she dared to get political. You can't listen to a womon who thinks so highly of a fool like Aristotle.

Secondly: This isn't 1973, anymore. We aren't at war with Russia and "The Arabs" aren't "one culture of underdeveloped people" but several different cultures, some of which are actually quite highly developed.

Thirdly, Isreal's creation was far, FAR from civilized as I'm sure you know well. There's nothing civilized about subversive land grabs. "The power of the mind"? Insane. More like "The power of the dollar" or the "The power of fossil fuels."

If we, as Americans, are going to be forced into helping ungratful and frankly untrustworthy jews who are still under the theocratic control of fundie-zionists, then stop feeding us this outdated and obsolete tripe about protecting civilization. In the end, the ultimate truth is that we are just like Russia in this game. 

Anyone who truly believes otherwise is a simple-minded sheep.
