Hah! Unless the people are Israel, who is in violation of more UN resolutions 
than any other nation.

Bush calls for swift UN action against disobedient Iran

London, Aug. 22 ­ United States President George W. Bush said on Monday that the
United Nations should move quickly to impose sanctions on Iran if it did not 
comply with a demand by the UN Security Council to suspend uranium enrichment, a
key process in making a nuclear bomb.

Asked whether he was confident that the Security Council would move quickly on 
sanctions if Iran ignored the August 31 deadline to suspend uranium enrichment, 
Bush said, ³I certainly hope so².

³In order for the UN to be effective, there must be consequences if people thumb
their nose at the United Nations Security Council. And we will work with people 
in the Security Council to achieve that objective, and the objective is that 
there's got to be a consequence for them basically ignoring what the Security 
Council has suggested through resolution², he said.

The Security Council adopted a legally-binding resolution on July 31 ordering 
Tehran to freeze all its uranium enrichment activities by August 31 or face 
possible sanctions.
