Draft resolution criticizes Iran for insufficient cooperation in nuclear probe

Quote
The draft, written by France, Britain and Germany, "deplores" Iran's failure to cooperate in a "complete, timely and proactive' way, said a diplomat quoting parts of the text to The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

I hear they are threatening to author more resolutions as punishment for Iran. Iran must be very afraid about pissing off the UN.......  

Maybe Hans Blix can assure the UN that Iran is cooperating....he could probably do that in about "two more weeks"
:lol

I'd love to see the US stay out of this one and see how it turns out.

Bit difficult considering that the US is a permanent member of  the Security Council (something many americans on this board seem to forget when complaining  about what the UN has and has not done).

I say the US should vote for any resolution against Iran, including force......but we should refuse to offer our military to help. Then we could support the UN yet really not have to do anything to help enforce the resolutions. That would be ideal.

What I meant was, we should let the French and Germans write the resolutions and simply support them. If push comes to shove, let the French and Germans try to enforce them.

I don't want to see us be obstructive, nor do I want to see us take a "leading role" in it. In short, this time we should swap roles with them.  ;) (Well, OK.. they're obstructive a lot of the time but we don't need to be like that.)

We could let them use Iraq as their staging point.
