TEHRAN -- Twenty-four hours after the Azores Summit, the U.S., Britain, and Spain withdrew their proposed resolution to the United Nations Security Council and virtually declared war against the international community.
This decision was not unexpected because U.S. President George W. Bush told reporters in the Azores that they would give the Security Council only 24 hours to decide about Iraq and threatened that if the Security Council did not make the decision that the U.S. wanted, he would even change the United Nations system.
The silence of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and other UN officials also seems to confirm the idea that the UN has been stripped of its authority to decide about the world, which has actually been transferred to a real axis of evil with Bush as its head. While Hans Blix, the head of the UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, maintains that there is still hope for inspections, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said that he "had been advised by U.S. officials to order inspectors to leave Iraq."
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has also officially asked the UN Iraq-Kuwait Observer Mission (UNIKOM) to leave the Iraq-Kuwait border.
Meanwhile, the withdrawal of the resolution and U.S. allies' strong warning to France shows that they want to isolate Paris.
Considering these developments, Bush's statement after September 11, in which he said that those "who are not with us are against us" has started pushing the world into a new bipolar system.
Now the U.S., Britain, the Zionist regime, and a few other states have stood against the United Nations and all other countries, which oppose war against Iraq.
In fact, instead of allowing the UN and the international community to disarm Iraq, the Bush administration and its lackeys are disarming the UN and the international community. History shows that the bitter smell of gunpowder also bothers dictators. No dictator has ever succeeded in conquering the world. Warmongering will not lead to U.S. supremacy in the world and instead will bring about the collapse of the Western superpower. A Persian proverb says: "It may come early or late but it will finally come."
The UN stripped itself by refusing to act on its own resolution.
The day of the dictator is coming to a close on this planet of ours.
