If these guys keep writing smart editorials, I just may have to subscribe. On Thursday they looked at the issue of Iran.

Proliferation: The U.N.'s toothless response to Iran's defiance on nuclear weapons tells Iran it can do what it wants with no consequences. Once again, the U.S. is in the lonely position of telling a rogue state "no."

The so-called P5 — the U.S., Britain, France, China and Russia, the five permanent, veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council — on Thursday issued a new set of "demands" to Iran. But calling the weak requests it made "demands" is a bit grandiose. The group really just punted.

This is the keeper statement:

It's beginning to look like High Noon, and the U.S. is the only sheriff in town. We can't look to the U.N. to stare down the threat. We can only hope that, as we stand tall, the other guy blinks.

That's it in a nutshell, folks. With the most recent resolution from the UN Security Council, it became obvious that we have little more than our hopes and prayers standing between an unpredictable Iran and nuclear weapons.
