You may have heard of “judge shopping.” That occurs when someone seeks out a judge who is likely to rule in that person’s favor, rather than on the basis of the law and the facts.
Well, the nation of Iran is “inspector shopping.” It has rejected scores of U.N. inspectors who have been trying to monitor its nuclear program, and it says it has a “right” to choose inspectors. Iran says the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but it is widely believed to be building weapons. That is alarming because Iran’s radical Muslim regime vows to wipe Israel off the map, and it could sell nukes to terrorist groups.
It is no coincidence that the most recent U.N. inspectors Iran rejected had reported on secret nuclear experiments which undercut Iran’s claim that it isn’t building nukes.
It should be obvious what Iran is doing: It is seeking inspectors who may not report fully on any findings that suggest Iran is producing nukes. That would be worse than having no inspectors at all; it would create a false sense of security if unscrupulous inspectors reported that “all is well” in Iran’s nuclear program.
Unfortunately, Iran has no reason to worry about U.N. inspections. When inspections became “inconvenient” during Communist North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, that country threw the inspectors out – and the U.N. did nothing. Iran and every other radical regime saw the U.N.’s ineffectiveness in Communist North Korea. Iran has no cause to fear that things will be different this time around.
U.N. inspections are a charade.
