U.N. still giving Iran a pass.

Peter Brookes writes in Military.com on the UN SC's continued nonchalance regarding Iran's nukes. But, you know, it's easy to understand why the UN is dragging it's feet - after all, if Iran gets a bomb they have promised to kill lots of Jews with it. Anyone think that this is somehow outside the UN agenda?

But one thing he misses:

So what would happen if Israel decided to conduct a pre-emptive surgical strike on Iran's nuclear facilities? Some say that an Israeli attack on a Muslim country would set the Middle East ablaze in an anti-Jewish frenzy. Possible, but not likely.

Sure, all Muslim governments would vociferously condemn the Israeli strike. But most would breathe a quiet sigh of relief. No one in the Middle East (except maybe Syria) wants to see fundamentalist, hegemonic Iran go nuclear. This is especially true for Iran's cross-Gulf rival, Saudi Arabia.

No Arab country would strike back at Israel, but Iran's Lebanese terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, would almost certainly target Israeli (and perhaps U.S.) interests in the region.

I think he's right, excepting the the Middle East not being set ablaze into an anti-Israel frenzy. It's already an anti-semitic frenzy, and such an attack would most certainly tip a few more millions of humiliated Muslims over the edge of rational thought.
