A Mile Wide, And a Millimeter Deep

Doing things the French (and Democrat) way with Iran has assembled a large coalition firmly committed to doing absolutely nothing about Iran's nuclear ambitions.

"To win support, the United States had to agree that the Security Council wouldn't discuss Iran before March. Even then, as Greg Schulte, U.S. ambassador to the IAEA, put it, "we foresee a graduated approach to bring additional pressure on the leadership in Tehran to achieve a negotiated settlement." That means the Security Council won't do more than issue statements, at least at first. Any action with teeth, such as sanctions, will require more help from Russia and China than either appears likely to agree to."

Even the Washington Post seems to grasp that we might have to go it alone - again.
