Video- ‘US uses UN as a tool to wage wars http://www.islamicinvitationturkey.com/2011/10/18/video-us-uses-un-as-a-tool-to-wage-wars/

Press TV has conducted an interview with Sara Flounders, co-director of International Action Center from New York, to ask her why the US has made this claim and whether legally the US should be held responsible for making false accusations or not.

Flounders: First of all, these charges are absolute outrage and fabrication and have absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever. The very fact that the US on the basis of these which even in the media no one has taken seriously and yet they have gone to every country in the world; the state department directed US ambassadors to meet with heads state of every country; they have gone to the UN about this.And of course the UN has done nothing about ten years of war in Afghanistan, the occupation of Iraq, the war in Libya, the drone attacks, how about US assassination policy against Pakistani, Yemeni, Sudan, and Somalia in villages and in neighborhoods, their attacks again and again, even the US citizens targeted for assassination in Yemen, one attack after another. So how do they divert attention from this?

By suddenly trying to turn it into an attack on Iran and I think while it has no basis in fact, it is an extremely dangerous example and it does show that there is a ramping up of new threats to follow on Iran. It is a very important time in the US to stand up at a time when tens and hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets. This Saturday was an international ‘Day of Rage’ and in all of these events, there were people who brought signs and banners saying, ‘Stop the war threats on Iran’, ‘Occupy Wall Street, not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not Libya’ and so on.

So this is an important time to challenge these fabricated charges but at the same time to take them seriously because clearly the US has major problems internationally and domestically and is looking for a way to divert attentions from their own problems and their own crises which are extremely serious and growing. The very coming – what they say will be a new even more – dramatic economic downturn, the anger in the US which is really escalating at the worsening conditions of life are absolutely of totally failed policy in their past wars but it is also what makes them at this point so very dangerous.
