Burying their heads in the sand at the United Nations
The month of May will include a host of activities concerned with the nuclear issue and with weapons of mass destruction, on the sidelines of the Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations, which starts on Monday. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will most likely storm the conference, to turn it into a demonstration against Israel and its nuclear weapons. Israel will attempt to play the role of the disappearing magician at the conference. As for Arab countries, they will be completely surrounded, between Israel’s enticement, Iran’s outbidding and Russia’s surprise
