The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I just have to laugh.

The UN is so irrelevant. Even when they can agree on something, such as the deadline for Iran to halt the enrichment of uranium (and my point isn't that they haven't the right to self determination - just looking at the UN aspect), the date passes, and the very peoiple that agree to it haven't the balls to do anything. I realize the EU isn't the UN, however members of the EU are on the security council.

From this article:

"Despite mounting U.S. pressure for sanctions against Iran, the European Union said Friday it is too early to punish Tehran for its failure to halt uranium enrichment by the U.N. Security Council's deadline."

Then why the hell even bother to make a deadline?
