Russia opposes referral of Iran to UN Security Council
BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhuanet) -
Russia says it opposes a US proffer to refer Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council.
Visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the remarks in Tehran at a joint news conference with his Iranian counterpart Kamal Kharazi.
Lavrov said that any unconstructive proposal is premature, and Russia expects the cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to continue.
Accusing Iran of developing nuclear weapons secretly, Washington is pressing the IAEA to refer Iran's case to the UN Security Council.
The IAEA last month adopted a resolution, urging Iran to suspend all of the activities related to nuclear activities and fully cooperate with the inspectors. The resolution was rejected by Iran, who was angered and termed it as "illegal".
The good Mr. Lavrov is correct. Sending the Mullahs to the security council in an effort to spank them with sanctions would be "unconstructive". Internationally enforced sanctions and heightened world attention on the regime, their terrorist activities in Iraq, and their plethora of crimes against humanity, would be very unconstructive for Russia, China, and the many European governments who continue to do business with the regime and view the dicators as the last remaining cookie that has yet to crumble at the hands of the United States and freedom's will.
The question is: Post-November election, what strategy will the US President pursue in order to spread freedom, ensure regional stability, and improve the overall condition of the world, while some of our so-called "allies" and other world powers don't exactly wish America well in her "Liberty Century" endeavor?
Progress will be tough to come by, but it must be pursued and ultimately achieved!
