Does anyone really think this organization has any credibility left?

On April 9, 2007 there was a United Nations believe-it-or-not moment extraordinaire. At the same time that Iran?s President Ahmadinejad declared his country was now capable of industrial-scale uranium enrichment, the U.N. reelected Iran as a vice chairman of the U.N. Disarmament Commission.

Yes Ripley, the very U.N. body charged with promoting nuclear nonproliferation installed in a senior position the state that the Security Council recently declared violated its nonproliferation resolutions.

So in Iran at the Natanz nuclear facility Ahmadinejad gloated: ?With great pride, I announce as of today our dear country is among the countries of the world that produces nuclear fuel on an industrial scale.? And in New York, courtesy of his U.N. platform, Iranian Disarmament Vice-Chairman Seyed Mohammad Ali Robatjazi railed against ?noncompliance with the NPT [nuclear nonproliferation treaty] by the United States? and ?the Zionist lobby.?

. . .

And it only gets worse, as the article goes on to highlight the Human Rights Council cover-up of its own investigation into Iran. Once again, we have an ideology on display that is utterly incapable of discriminating against clearly different groups. Their relativism prohibits them from recognizing any behavior as over the line. Ever wonder why liberals are this way? This video is the best answer:

It is somewhat long – though definitely worth it – but I’ll summarize here. At their core, liberals believe the fundamental cause of war is not that evil exists, but that some people (often referred to disparagingly as warmongers) actually believe they are right. In other words, if no one thought they were right, no one would have anything to fight for. So it becomes an imperative for liberals to elevate what is wrong and tear down what is right. This is why they side with Palestineans over Israelis. This is why they must believe that Islamists weren’t behind 9/11, but that Bush was responsible. This is why Sudan was made a member of the Human Right Commission while they were busy committing genocide. If you just think about it this way you can see examples everywhere. Here’s an example in the news today, as we learn a Canadian green party candidate cheered on the 9/11 attacks. Modern liberalism in action.

So when we learn that Iran is being rewarded for seeking nuclear weapons, it should come as no surprise. For they believe that in order to prevent conflict, that which is bad must be made equivalent with that which is good, and reality be damned.
