UN Security Council Abets Iran's Nuclear Program
March 31, 2006

IRVINE, CA--"The UN Security Council's call on Iran to halt its nuclear program will not stop Iran, but will actually abet its pursuit of nuclear bombs," said Dr. Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute.

"It is absurd to think that any UN admonishment could derail the belligerent theocrats in Teheran. The Security Council's feeble statement gives them yet more time to continue building their bombs.

"This perverse gambit perpetuates the myth--inherent in the failed diplomatic efforts that preceded it--that Iran's leaders will listen to reason. But the ruling mullahs are religious mystics orchestrating a terrorist war on the West. To combat this avowedly irrational enemy we must retaliate by force. The time for military action against Iran is long since past."
