Iran and the U.N.

This just in: China and Russia may be backing away from commitments made vis a vis Iran's nuclear program.

see it here:


In the mean time, nobody in Iran appears to give much of a damn. Why you ask? Because they have the oil, so, at least in this instance, they make the rules. The American initiative to make it mandatory that Iran cease enriching uranium is laughable at best. What are we gonna do? Iran is a xenophobic country that has very little to lose from not doing business with the rest of the world. If the oil supply from Iran is cut back or cut off, the global economy will wither until the rest of the world, including the U.N., smiles and throws a little picnic, to welcome them back to the fold on whatever terms the Islamic Republic cares to dictate.

If we are serious about pressuring the rest of the world to go along with us, it is time to suck it in and do a little less business with the rest of the world.

Just a thought there.
