El Baradei Fires Iran Weapons Inspector

Via Roger L. Simon we learn that the UN Nuclear Weapons Inspection team head has been fired at the demand of Iraq.

I just posted over at Pajamas a new story from Die Welt on the nefarious Mohammed El Baradei. I used the admittedly optimistic headline Nobelist Jumps the Shark because this time I hope this two-faced character gets his comeuppance with the exposure that he has cooperated with the Mullahs in firing his chief inspector Chris Charlier. I'm posting this here to urge you to have a look at Regime Change Iran, where there is extensive coverage and a good translation, and in case people have some comments about this.

While this will undoubtedly create a stink and the UN is in damage control mode, I don't think it amounts to much in the way of substantive damage. The "International Community" (.i.e. the United Nations) is not going to stop anybody or anything from developing nuclear weapons. The fact is that there are no International Cops. That role is left for individual nations like the US. And we may lack the combination of will and ability to stop the mullahs from making a bomb.

But it does expose, if there is any doubt in anyone's mind, the fecklessness and uselessness of the UN as a serious international body that anyone can depend on to enforce rules of conduct on rogue regimes.
