Making a Joke of the UN
[National Post-Canada] Editorial - Iran would be unsuitable as a UN Security Council member in so many ways, it's hard to keep count. First and foremost: it is currently the subject of the most strenuous sanctions imposed by the Council on any nation, over its refusal to shut down its nuclear program. In addition, it would be ridiculous to elect the world's foremost sponsor of terror to a body that fancies itself a bodyguard of global security. Despite all this, we suspect there is a good chance Iran will win a place on the council in January when a seat for an Asian country comes open.
