(CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council has condemned recent comments by Iran's president that Israel should be "wiped off the map" but did not say if the world body planned any action against Iran.
In a written statement, the council pointed out that all members of the United Nations "have undertaken to refrain from the threat or use of force against ... any state."
Now there's something you can sink your teeth into, another strongly worded condemnation ought to do the trick. Right?
This would be analogous to a young pre-school age child telling his teacher, "I want to kill you and string your guts all over the place" and then the teacher replying, "Now, we don't say that here!".
How effective was this recent condemnation of the Iranian president's remarks? Let's read on:
Quite effective, wouldn't you say?Meanwhile, thousands of Iranians staged anti-Israel protests across the country Friday and repeated calls by their ultraconservative president demanding the Jewish state's destruction.
Demonstrators held banners with anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian slogans. One banner read "Death to Israel, death to America," The Associated Press reported.
Here is Russia's response:
This is equal to the parent of that child I mentioned earlier saying, "He didn't mean it. He's a good boy.".The embassy said Ahmadinejad "did not have any intention to speak up in such sharp terms and enter into a conflict."
"It's absolutely clear that, in his remarks, Mr. Ahmadinejad, president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, underlined the key position of Iran, based on the necessity to hold free elections on the occupied territories," Reuters quoted the embassy statement as saying.
Anyone, with half of a brain, can tell you that a child that would make such a statement needs to be looked at a little closer, because the statements he makes today, could very well be indicative of future malicious behaviors.
The same holds true of Iran, but with greater consequences.

Whatever they COULD do, far outweighs, what they are WILLING to do.
Since the UN has a history of not doing much of anything, it's not likely they would want to do anything different. And it's that kind of approach that has sunk them into the depths of irrelevancy.
Ahmadinejad said what he meant and he meant what he said. Why do ostriches choose to ignore words from the mouth of the enemy? The same happened with Hitler!
The UN is as useless as ____________. You know the rest of that saying, I'll bet.
Mammary glands on a boar hog?
In the years 1936-1939 Britain and Europe ignored all of the evidence
that germany was preparing for war.
as an act of appeasement to Hitler the Sudatenlands were ceded to Hitler.
History appears to be repeating itself, the evidence of intended conflict, initiated by the Islamic world is there for all to see.
once again our leaders choose to bury thier heads in the sand
Gandalf,
You are 100% right.
LA, you know how this rolls. There is an entire society of multiculturalists that are constantly excusing and coddeling the "bad guys" because they think if they give them enough latitude, they will eventually calm down.
You've been on my site and seen the infamous "H" make so many vieled excuses for Iran and their tyranical murderous intent. I dont think he does it because he particuarly like Iran...
I think he does it becuase he has a misguided belief that all nations really want to just do their own thing and get along (obviously excluding the US), but that our (the western world) constant interference and opression is what makes them act out...
the UN is full of these types.
G,
They are hoping that if they are nice to the lion, the lion will eat them last.
