Nov 5 and Nov 6. One day. And the acclaimed intellectual and nuclear head master, Mohammad ElBaradei, who heads the self-contradictory and hilariously inept International Atomic Energy Association, couldn’t find anything suspicious on a search of a previously secret Uranium enriching facility in Iran.

The very next day that same IAEA came out with a statement that it found evidence that Iran is testing its advanced nuclear warhead design.

Now lets get some facts correct: We know the ineptitude and powerlessness of the U.N. in matters relating to, let’s say, anything. And every year there’s a repeated enactment of these kind of dramas, with sometimes North Korea, and Iran and other different players…the venomous rhetoric machine of these countries fires up and everything goes hushed. But this comedy in the last couple of days reached new heights of callousness and to some extent smells of skulduggery.

Unfortunately, the bigger players are day by day playing pacifists of what is slowly turning to be a grim reminder and imitation of pre-World War II Europe.
