The measure calling Israel's program a threat, which was co-sponsored by Iran, was kept from going to a vote after 45 countries backed a no-action motion by the Canadian delegate, effectively adjourning the debate Friday evening.
Among those supporting the effort to block the vote were the United States, Israel, France, Germany and Britain. Those abstaining included China, Russia and Nigeria, among others.
The 15 Arab countries behind the resolution, which would also have been non-binding, had hoped to send a signal to Israel following its monthlong war with Hezbollah, which killed hundreds of people - most of them civilians - in Lebanon.
"Peace and nuclear weapons are two enemies - there is no cohabitation," said Ramzy Ramzy, head of the Egyptian delegation to the meeting and his country's ambassador to Austria.

Let's face it, Canada is a dictatorship, always was, always will be until we get off our asses and do something about it. What we will have to do to fix the problem won't be pretty, so until life gets bad enough to make the effort worthwhile, nothing will be done - and the boys in charge know it, so they keep on pushing the limits to new heights.
The freaks of nature who are in charge are bad enough, but the one thing that pisses me off the most, are all those people who go about thinking that they live in an "open and free" society that has a functional democracy. I'd be a lot happier if everyone just understood what the true reality is even if they still sit on their asses and do nothing about it.
I also cannot stand the lies comming from the MSM and government issued propaganda. Just tell the damned truth and be done with it - no one will care until people are starving or being shot on sight for carrying toothpaste into public places.
I guess I just hate being lied to and taken for a sucker.
