Wouldn't be the first time we've ignored the UN, thankfully.

The Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center doesn't decrease anyone's national security. In fact, Gitmo probably improves the free world's security. Iran has said they would like to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. With nuclear weapons, they would have the ability to do this. Therefore, the UN's interest with Iran is much different than it is with Gitmo. Any comparisons are invalid and ridiculous.
