Ironic

Bear in mind that:
The US, under Bush administration, has made terrorism the central focus of its foreign policy. Thus, right after the 911 attacks, it took only 11 days for Bush and his contingents to declare the war on terror to the world and initiate their moves and actions on this life-concerning issue.

We have all heard all about the North Korea's test fires missiles in summer 2006. Right after they really did the deed, it only took a day after the initial launches for the UN Security Council to conduct an emergency meeting as a reaction.

In early 2002, Bush stated his intention to take significant action to topple the Iraqi government based on the reason of his highly imaginative mind of the so-called alleged threat posed by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. It took him only 2 months to start the "kick off" of the US-spearheaded 2003 invasion of Iraq. Burning, ruining, and destroying the country, Bush finally did fulfill his dad's ambition to topple Hussein's government. Claimed as a "just war", the invasion took so many lives and led to the current Iraq War.

Now, take a look at this one:
The Israel-Gaza conflict, an ongoing conflict mainly between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group, Hamas, is the recent form of what has been the ongoing disputes between Israel and Palestine. It has taken at least more than 500 lives of Palestinians over the past 10 days (more than 90 of them were children) and more than 2,500 have been wounded. Yet, NO SIGNIFICANT THING has been done by the UN Security Council (except a statement form the UN Secretary-General condemning the missile strikes), unlike their amazingly fast reaction on North Korean nuclear test more than 2 years ago.

Isn't it Ironic?
