The real problem with the U.N. is not that itacts too slowly, but that it fails to act at all. Much as I would love to see the U.N. succeed, unfortunately it is too often paralysed by squabbling in in the security council. As effective as the U.N. countries may think it is, sabre rattling has never solved a single problem I've heard of.

>It wasn't meant to be funny at all, in fact the opposite. I apologize if I offended you, that was not my intention. My intention was only to point out that doing nothing or waiting for the UN to act may be too late for those innocents who are the target. I would have no problem waiting a reasonable time for the UN to act if the UN actually enforced their resolutions. There is danger in waiting too long and danger in not acting at all. There is danger if the act is not UN sanctioned and even when it is. The ideals of the UN are terrific and are something to strive to meet. However, the reality is that the UN doesn't always act in the best interests of the innocents as history demonstrates. Having written all of that, I agree with your statement below completely.

>>Is that supposed to be funny? OK, I readily agree that there is danger in waiting too long. On the other hand, the fact that the U.S. acts on its own behalf, and perhaps even for the wrong reasons (as happened in the case of Iraq), can pose a danger as well, since there is already a strong anti-US sentiment around the world.

>>One way or the other, the situation is dangerous.

>>>I agree entirely. I think no country should be allowed to do anything until at least 12 UN resolutions have been passed and ignored by Iran and then wait some more. I hope we have learned our lesson. If the UN does not take action still no country had better do anything unilaterally until Iran wipes all of the peaceful Bahá'í off of the face of the earth. Then since they are the victims they are the only ones that can do anything. Well, if there's anyone left...

>>>>>>Right now, there is a great deal of fuss over the comments by the president of Iran, who wants Israel to be "wiped off the map".

>>>>>>It seems to me that it was well-known for a while that Iran had this goal; the only new elements are that it is the active president who does the comments, and that he does so quite openly.

>>>>>>I understand that Iran also has some other objectives, such as eliminating the United States, and eliminating the Bahá'í Faith both within and outside Iran.

>>>>>Therefore, it behooves the world to stop Iran from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons, BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE.

>>>>The world, yes. What worries me, however, is the possibility of individual countries taking action unilaterally, which will likely make the situation even worse.
