Russia and China have agreed to send Iran to the security council. I am excited to see the international community come to a consensus that will hopefully help keep the world safer. Yet, this whole drama isn't over. The international community needs the will to impose the kind of strict economic sanctions that will really hurt the Iranians. Unfortunately, those are also the kinds of sanctions that will hurt the rest of the world - an Iranian oil embargo will drive prices way up.
The world needs to choose between sky high energy prices, perhaps causing an international economic recession, or letting a religious fanatic acquire nukes. Kinda makes one wish we weren't so dependent on oil? Maybe thats something we should keep working on.
It probably didn't help the Iranian cause that the rest of the world just found damning evidence that Iran is pursuing nukes. Some people, amazingly, have expressed doubts as to whether Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons; I hope this clears things up for them.
