Quote:
Security Council Resolution Demands Iran Suspend Uranium Enrichment

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution Monday giving Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions.

Read what little more there is at FoxNews.com.


Okay, yeah. Once again, the Un is doing nothing. Once again, the Insecurity Council is showing nothing but weakness. My expectations: Iran won't comply with this, and not just because they don't want to, but because the only incentive is that there will be more talks, not action. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, I was just reading this. Disappointed, but not surprised. Of course, I suppose instead of blaming the UN as a whole, we can really blame the Chinese and Russians for this

Or like... er, this could be counted as spam so nevermind....

Anyways, Iran already rejected it. I don't see the point in waiting a whole month. If the UN wants some respect, they need to show some muscle.

That they do. The Un is being seen increasingly as a pointless organization by the American public in particular. I mean, just look at the Insecurity Council...

How do you show something you haven't got?
What a waste of time and money this "resolution" was,
