No one saw this coming. The UN has chosen Iran, of all countries, to help negotiate an arms treaty with the rest of the world. Is it a crazy idea -- or does it kind of make sense?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
Barely a week after accusing Iran of supplying arms for Syria's bloody crackdown on democracy-minded rebels, the UN has given Tehran a key seat at negotiations for a global arms treaty.

    Makes perfect sense for the U.N.

    Remember they are an organization that has made Libya the head of the human rights committee, has presided over every major genocide in the last 50 years and despite worldwide blooshed they reserve their worst outrage for Israel.

    The U.N. is a symbol of everything that is depraved with left-wing geopolitics.

    I believe facts. 10 percent of the land was arable in what is now Israel. Arabs developed the original Jaffa orange(many good Arab people) and again as usual Jews took it to NEW AND LOFTIER HEIGHTS. Despite limited natural resources, Israel has intensively developed its agricultural and industrial sectors over the past 20 years.

    THE DESERT IS NOW BLOOMING IRISH. Don't ya just love it? ISRAELI PRODUCE

    QUOTE
    The building of Israel represents about the most peaceable in-migration and state creation in history.Zionists lacked military power. They could not possibly achieve statehood through conquest. Instead, they purchased land. Acquiring property dunam by dunam, farm by farm, house by house, lay at the heart of the Zionist enterprise until 1948. The Jewish National Fund, founded in 1901 to buy land in Palestine "to assist in the foundation of a new community of free Jews engaged in active and peaceable industry," was the key institution – and not the Haganah, the clandestine defense organization founded in 1920.
    Zionists also focused on the rehabilitation of what was barren and considered unusable. They not only made the desert bloom, but drained swamps, cleared water channels, reclaimed wasteland, forested bare hills, cleared rocks, and removed salt from the soil. Jewish reclamation and sanitation work precipitously reduced the number of disease-related deaths.
    Only when the British mandatory power gave up on Palestine in 1948, followed immediately by an all-out attempt by Arab states to crush and expel the Zionists, did the latter take up the sword in self defense and go on to win land through military conquest. Even then, as the historian Efraim Karsh demonstrates in Palestine Betrayed, most Arabs fled their lands; exceedingly few were forced off.

    On July 27th, the nations of the world are scheduled to meet in New York to sign a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Disguised as a way to prevent the proliferation of small arms throughout the world, it is, in fact, a backdoor way to legislate gun control in the United States and effectively repeal our Second Amendment.

    The ATT will set up a global body, which will require all nations to regulate firearms so that they can prevent their exportation to other countries. Inevitably, this will require countries to inventory the guns in private hands and to register them. A gun ban is not far away.

    The ATT, under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, would have the power of a constitutional amendment and would, effectively, repeal the Second Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear arms. We must fight to stop the US from signing the treaty and, if we fail, block Senate ratification.

    Obama is going to let the UN decide if we keep our Second Amendmment rights....

    They have taken over MOST of S.America and C. America recently; they said they"would take over America without even firing a shot". Are you talking about that revolution where none of the roads in & out were closed;airline travel not halted? broadcasts not halted?no shots fired at all ; you could watch on CNN (communist news network)?? LOL !!!! There is a bear in the woods.

    Iran is a perfect choice to ensure there will be no deal. And since the US will never get this past the Senate, the whole concept will end up where it belongs -- dead in the water.

    It is the American people. They are the ones who have elected these aholes and it's they American people who are not doing anything about what's going on. The American people vote repub or demo regaurdless of the person's history. They are loyal to a party and that's why we are in this mess. Very few will vote across party line or research to see who is the better candidate. We are in a mess and what are the people doing about it? What do you think our founders would have been doing by now? The American people won't take responsibility of their own lives. They would rather bitch and moan and blame someone else for the troubles.

    It's similar to the USA military way ... the military will take an out-of-control recruit and place him in charge. The concept is not so bad. Now the recruit is not dealing with authority, he is the authority and dealing with his peers, rather than with authority.

    Iran is that unruly recruit that nobody can control, so what does the world have to lose?
