Iranians Terrified by UN Resolution
by Scott Ott
(2006-03-30) — The United Nations Security Council yesterday passed a
resolution calling on Iran to halt uranium enrichment by the end of
April or face the looming specter of a “virtual mushroom cloud” of
additional Security Council discussions and resolutions.
Iran immediately called the non-binding resolution “a terrifying
deployment of words that threatens our women, our children and our
peaceful way of life.”
The measure, which carries no consequences for non-compliance,
nevertheless contains active verbs, challenging vocabulary and
deliberate punctuation that pose a “clear and present danger” to the
people of Iran, according to an unnamed spokesman for the Islamic
Republic.
“The brutal thugs on the Security Council have us over a barrel,” the
Iranian source said. “Our people are filled with fear. We are at the
mercy of the United Nations.”
Holding one-tenth of the world’s known oil reserves and the second
largest natural gas reserves, Iran desperately needs enriched uranium
only to generate electricity, and not to make nuclear weapons to wipe
Israel from the map.

ally to capture a figurehead dialysis patient whom Harry Reid already
thinks is dead."
