Who the #*&@ is America to tell us what is good for the world?

Did they find the ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ in Iraq? Did they “smoke out” Osama Bin Laden from Afghanistan? Have they restored democracy in Iraq or any other country they have tried to do so? Then what in god’s name making the UN Security Council fall for the United States led imposition of sanctions on Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme, even though they were invited to visit all their nuclear facilities*? (Ironically, the Iranian nuclear programme was started with US help in the 1950s during the cold war) Why are they falling for the same story again?
Speaking in the southwestern provincial capital of Ahvaz, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Security Council’s resolution of 23 December 2006 was invalid and had left the world body’s reputation in tatters. “You are nobody,” he told the Western powers. Recalling the West’s support for Iraq, then ruled by Saddam Hussein, during its eight year war with Iran in the 1980s, he said: “If all the powers that supported Saddam in his war against Iran were to regroup and confront Iran again, Iranians would deliver a historic slap in their face.” He added that Iran had done everything it could, to prove that its nuclear programme is peaceful, but the West in the name of opposing nuclear weapons, was trying to thwart Iran’s development. “We have tried all legal, wise and logical ways to convince these corrupt and selfish powers,” he said of the West. “Let the world know that from the Iranian nation’s point of view, this resolution has no validity,” Ahmadinejad said. He said the United States was the main power behind the resolution, and warned Washington: “I want you to know that the Iranian nation has humiliated you many times, and it will humiliate you in future.”
The United Nations Security Council has become a toothless and heavily influenced organisation. They proved this last year when Israel attacked Lebanon. The council sat twiddling its thumbs even though Kofi Annan, the UN Security General pleaded with them to send in peacekeeping forces. All because the US didn’t want the war to stop, and was backing Israel. The Security Council has become terribly influenced by the more powerful members.
Today (09 Jan 2007) a US attack plane killed many people with barrages of gunfire in a remote Somali village occupied by Islamists, thought to be hiding at least ONE al Qaeda suspect. What the hell is happening in our world? In the absence of a fair and unbiased world security organisation, are we heading towards a third world war?
* The Security Council voted unanimously to bar all countries from selling materials and technology to Iran that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programmes. It also froze the assets of 10 Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programmes.
