Wall Street Journal: A UN vote for Venezuela is a vote for Iran

Naming Venezuela to the UN Security Council is the same as naming Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has made it clear that when it comes to geopolitics, his preferences lie with hostile states like Iran, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea," writes WSJ columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady. If the UN gives Venezuela the Latin American seat on the Security Council, she says, it will effectively be giving it to Iran.
