United Nations Security Council Unanimously Votes to Impose Sanctions on Iran

Breaking, UN imposes sanctions on Iran. Waiting for Iran's response. Should be plenty of bluster from Iran's mouthpiece.

"May a thousand sternly worded letters descend upon Iran!"

UN: "Our sanctions will blot out the sun."

Iran: "Then we will continue to build our nuclear weapons in the shade..."

(With sincerest apologies to the 300.)

Good for Ki-Moon! He held his ground even after having a rocket narrowly miss him while he was in Iraq!

I bet Ahmajanut is scared!

I bet he's askerd of the economic consequences and the subsequent outrage of his countrymen which will ensue from strangling sanctions.

My hope, and possibly the calculation of the U. S., is that this will destabilize the the ruling class in Iran. It's possible, and the better alternative to the use of force at this time.

It's well worth pursuing. Should it fail, well, we'll do what we must.

You're right.... as long as we don't wait too long....

If so, the consequences will be even worse.

I'm seeing doubles. And have to get some shut eye. Gotta be at work at 6AM.
