#1 MadMoud has called for the wiping out of a legit fellow UN member-state and signatory, i.e. ISRAEL - call me weird but isn't this a specific kind of situation what the Founding Fathers at San Francisco wanted the UNO for.

#2 Otherwise Teheran would not be fighting a referral, diplomats and other experts say. “Iranians are very proud and don’t want to become a pariah state like North Korea,” said Edward Luck, a Columbia University professor specializing in UN affairs. “I think they would find it very unattractive.”

Experts say? Lol, ya sure. The most remarkable thing is that most of them probably actually believe their bullshit. I'm thinking they have very heavy callouses on their palms - a prerequisite for the Moonbat A-List - on both side of the Atlantic.

#3 Step 1 - ban the Iranian national bobcat sledding team from the winter olympics.

Step 2 - Given them a slightly smaller "I" on their country name plate.

Step 3 - Make faces at them at the UN cafeteria.

#4 The problem with the UN and the EU is that they think that threats that are effective for THEM are equally effective for EVERYONE, including power mad muslims with delusions of helping the Islamic Messiah (the Mahadi (sp?)) arrive. For all their blather about being so multiculturalist, they are showing a cultural paternalism and secularism that is blinding.

#5 "If only Iran would get in touch with its inner child..."

#7 Shame leads to humiliation, which leads to seething.

Better try another tactic.

#8 As Ptah hints, if the UN or the EU or the IEAI issues a condemnation, the likely response from the mad mullarchy will be "ah-ha, the 'end times' are coming".

This isn't all bad because it makes discredits the mullarchy among those that believe in different 'end times' scenarios (I think Hamas has their own scenario) and also it creates even more snickering among the 'here and now' jihadis (al Q for example). Maybe more than snickering because disagreement leads to gunfire between the factions (or popcorn among the rantburgians).

#9 Shame leads to revenging lost "honour" and to rape and slaughter - depending on the sex of the perceived shamers.

Shame would be enough of an excuse to launch whatever Iran has on hand. Not really a useful tactic against MM's, one would think.

#10 Shame has no effect upon the shameless.

You'd sooner get a fisherman to be abashed about exaggerating the size of his catch. Iran's convening a conference to assess 'the scientific aspect' of the Holocaust should be proof enough.
