The comments that stirred things up were given by Ahmadinejad to college students at a conference called "A World Without Zionism," saying that Israel should be "wiped off the face of the earth."

Israel's Arial Sharon responded calling for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council wanting support to have Iran expelled from the United Nations, reasoning "any country that calls for the destruction of another country should not be a member of the United Nations." And said, "Such a country, in possession of nuclear weapons, is a danger not only to Israel and the Middle East but to Europe as well."

This is not new news, it is only broadcast more widely. And it's about time. Nevertheless, this barbaric attitude should not to be taken lightly. Any true friend of Israel will stand with her in the United Nations to expel Iran from its ranks."

Did the United Nations expel Iran? Nope. Will it take any disciplinary actions against Venezuela's Chavez? Nope, I don't think so. Are the lines drawn in the UN solid? Or are they only illusions to give the appearance that the international body has 'teeth' in it's authority? Will Chavez and Ahmadinejad be able to speak before the United Nations again next year when heads of state gather again? Yes, I'm sure, if they are still heads of state. Lines don't really mean anything to the United Nations, and even if they did, they have proven they are powerless (and spineless) to carry out the consequences for violating the rules.
