Hooper,
i think that is a wrong analogy. There is wrongdoing here. Complete disregard for rules made by the united nations 11 years ago. Flat out lines in the dirt that we said could not be crossed. It would be tantamount to japan building an army in 1955. These rules were made to keep the threat of biological, chemical or nuclear warfare to a minimumin a region that is not only severely unstable, but controls the lifeblood of the world.
For now 11 years, these rules have been broken, yet the punishment not enforced. our planes are shot at, no fly zones are broken every day. and the continued push towards production of the above mentioned Weapons of mass destruction, has violated every sanction imposed by the UN, yet the UN refuses to back it unilaterally. At what point is it time to stop hiding their eyes from it. They are like a battered woman, afraid to follow through.
IF the U.N. does not back up its sanctions, rules and punishment with enforcement of said rules, then it is a spineless organization with no future, a boy who cried wolf that will be ineffective in anything in the future.
The world is behind this effort, the only holdouts are those whos immediate economic future might be tight (germany, france).
