The fruits of the UN Security Council

The UN Security Council, comprised of five of the most power countries in the world, issues a stearn warning to Iran to halt its nuclear program. Iran continues and advances its nuclear program, throwing a party to celebrate.

I think it is safe to say that the current United Nations serves the purpose of stalling war with dithering until it is inevitable and as bloody as the situation will allow.

Oh, and this quote from the Washington Post story on Iran successfully enriching uranium is priceless:

"We all knew they were going to do this. The question is: What will they do next?" said one European diplomat, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.

That pretty much sums things up. We'll wait. Then we'll figure out what they plan to do next. We'll issue an even stearner warning. We'll watch them do it. That's the way of post modern Western diplomacy.
