The UN General Assembly on Tuesday

Today the United Nations General Assembly will meet for the 61st time. This particular meeting though, should be very interesting. The assembly will begin at 11:00 am with a discussion about Irans nuclear policy and it's so called "peaceful" program. Thrirty minutes later, Bush will address the UN, no doubt promoting his 'Freedom Agenda' to other world leaders. He will also be critical about Iran, while the President of that particular country, stares and watches in anger. Forget the 4th of July, these fireworks should be MUCH better.

Later in the day, at around 7:00 pm, the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, will give his speech to the UN. It is not known if Bush will be present at the UN for that speech or not. But he has already confirmed, along with other members of his cabinet, that he will not debate President Ahmadinejad about Iran's nuclear program. Earlier this month, Iran's President challenged President Bush to the debate and it was instantly shot down by the Bush administration.

I feel that this assembly today will yield interesting results. Hopefully, it will inspire the UN to act more quickly about Iran's nuke program. Lately, the UN has seemed absent in the issue and many believe that the UN is not performing its duties and should be scraped to the ground and rebuilt with new intentions. We shoul also expect Koffi Annan, head of the UN, to discuss Iraq and the looming possibility of a possible civil war. Over a hundred bodies were discovered in Baghdad last week, making many believe that the Bush Administration may be losing their grip on the region.
