Axis, Schmaxis, Part 4

Iran reacts to U.N.S.C.R. 1718:

“Some Western countries have turned the U.N. Security Council into a weapon to impose their hegemony and issue resolutions against countries that oppose them,” Ahmadinejad was quoted by the state-run television as saying Monday.

“They use the council for threats and intimidation,” the television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

But Iran “won’t be intimidated,” he said.

“Mounting threats and pressures against Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities won’t cause even one iota of hesitation in the will of the Iranian nation to continue this path.”

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations warned Iran that it risks sanctions like those slapped on North Korea.

“I hope the lesson they learn is that if they continue to pursue nuclear weapons, they will face the same kind of isolation and restrictions that we have just imposed on the North Koreans,” Ambassador John Bolton told a cable news program on Sunday.

On a distantly related note, some have asked me how North Korea will react to the fact that Ban Ki-Moon,  a South Korean, now heads the Security Council.  Like this:  everyone knows that the U.N. is a puppet of the U.S. imperialists, and because our Dear Leader is also America’s greatest enemy and  the leader of all oppressed peoples on earth, the United States chose its South Korean puppet to lead the U.N. This just proves how important we are and how much South Korea is a puppet of the Americans.

Sound about right?  Let’s just watch and see.
