Note
The distortion in favor of a UN hero and US loser is astonishing. The New York Times headline, November 24, 2005: "U.S. and Europe Put Off Referral of Iran Case to Security Council"; The New York Times headline, September 25, 2005: "Nuclear Agency Votes to Report Iran to U.N. Security Council for Treaty Violations." The message here? The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which subsequently received the Nobel Peace Prize, is doing a great job. The United States is responsible for the failure to move Iran's efforts at mass destruction to the UN Security Council. The facts? The IAEA has never decided to move Iran's nuclear ambitions to the Security Council, and the one country trying hardest to change this inaction is the United States.
