There is no real doubt that a submarine from Communist North Korea torpedoed an unoffending South Korean naval vessel on March 26, murdering 46 innocent sailors.
But as usual, the indecisive U.N. is giving a pass to the guilty party.
The U.N. has come up with a “proposed statement” expressing condemnation over the unprovoked attack, but, as The Associated Press noted, the statement “doesn’t identify who is responsible.” It only points out that Communist North Korea has denied any responsibility.
As if to confirm its obvious guilt, the totalitarian country says it will respond with military force if the U.N. Security Council so much as questions whether North Korea was involved in the sinking of the ship.
The wishy-washy U.N. statement offers all the usual “deep concern” for which U.N. statements and resolutions are notorious, and it says “appropriate and peaceful measures” should be taken against “whoever” is responsible.
