Bulk of UN Member States to Back Iran's Nuclear Position

(CNSNews.com) - As the U.N. Security Council continues searching for ways to resolve the Iranian nuclear standoff, Tehran looked set later Tuesday to win a fresh pledge of support for its "right" to enrich uranium from the world's developing nations.

Foreign ministers from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), meeting in Malaysia, were expected to issue a declaration drafted earlier in support for Iran's ostensibly civilian nuclear program.

On Monday, NAM chairman and Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi urged the grouping to back Tehran, accusing the West of nuclear double standards.

"Allowing Israel to develop nuclear weapons with impunity -- which it does not deny -- while others in the region are prohibited from doing so, is a blatant case of double standard," he told the ministers.

When's the last time Ariel Sharon or Ehud Olmert called for the annihilation of a nation, asswipe?
