Even though the cold war has been over for more than twenty years, the United Nations Security Council controlled by the United States continued to behave like a bully in the world.  On the one hand, the permanent members of United Nations Security Council have stockpiled huge nuclear arsenals, which has been the biggest potential threat to all lives on this planet.  They also allowed their friends and allies to have nuclear weapons.   According to some estimates, about twenty some nations in this world have nuclear weapons.   But on the other hand, they continue to sanction countries like Iran and People’s Democratic Republic of Korea for their aspirations to have nuclear weapons, mostly for self-defense purpose in the face of military threat from the U.S. and its allies.  

Some ordinary people on the streets in the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea asked journalists why other countries could have nuclear bombs but not their country?  Why other countries could test nuclear bombs and launched satellite freely.  But when the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea tested its nuclear bomb and launched the Satellite, the UN Security Council would place sanctions against it. 

The whole  world should ask these questions.   Who give the United Nations Security Council the moral authority to decide who can have nuclear weapons and who cannot.   Why can not the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea, who were under constant threats from the joint military exercises by the U.S. and South Korea, develop its nuclear weapon program to defend itself?  Why can not Iran develop its nuclear weapon program when Israel has nuclear weapons and when Iran faces constant military threat from the U.S. and Israel?

The Representatives of the U.S. in the UN Security Council always claim that their sanctions only targeted the small elites of the People’s Republic of Korea.    That claim can fool the American people, but cannot fool the people in the third world countries.   When the U.S. invaded Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein, more than one million of innocent Iraqis paid the ultimate prices of their lives.   The livelihood of Iraqi people has been destroyed.    The Iraqi people are still suffering from the mess the U.S. invasion created there.   When the U.S. and other west nations instigated the civil war in Libya to topple Kaddafi, over 100,000 Libyans were killed as collateral damages, and Libyan infrastructure was decimated.   The Libyan people’s livelihood has been completely changed because of outside involvement in their internal affairs. 

Yes, we do not need more nuclear weapons in this world.   We do not need any more wars.  Our fragile natural environment can not sustain any unnecessary damages from military confrontations.    In order to protect our already overburdened and seriously damaged environment, which is the foundation of human life in this world, we need to gradually eliminate all the nuclear weapons as well as nuclear power plants which pose tremendous threat to all lives on our planet.     The way of the future should be to live with less and be happy with what we have, not to aspire for more consumption so that a small elites could make more profit from more economic growth.

The UN Security Council, particularly the permanent members of the UN Security Council, should stop being a bully in this world.   Instead it should start to exercise moral leadership in this world.   They should stop using sanctions against small and weak nations.  It is always the case that the powerful places sanctions against the weak, and therefore is morally unjust and unfair.   Because it is unjust and unfair, it seldom works.  The UN general Assembly should start discussing nuclear disbarment seriously.    It should pass a resolution to demand that permanent members of the UN Security Council to stop manufacturing and selling weapons to third world countries.   The UN General Assembly should demand that the UN Security Councils stop interfering in other countries’ internal affairs.    It should demand that the UN Security Council make a serious pledge to abstain from threatening small and weak countries by military force, and respect the sovereignty of small and weak nations.    

We need peace in this world.   But peace can only come from justice and fairness to all.   A small number of the elites from a small number of countries decide the fate of weak and small nations will not bring about peace and justice in our world.    Ordinary people all over the world should unite to fight for justice and fairness for all.
