#1 What for, as it and China have already warned Dubya that the USA will not be allowed to control either Iran, Taiwan or North Korea!?

#2 ...I'm thinking that the Russians thought they had a gentleman's arrangement with the Iranians and have now discovered that the Iranians play their own game. Worse still, when The Day comes, the Russians will be revealed to have been neck deep in the borscht. Watch for them to be even more protective of Iran than they were of Iraq.

#3 The end of the EU foot-stomping era appears in sight. Certainly al-Baradei will continue to request Iranian transparency. But without concensus of the IAEA board its just another strongly worded memo. And, of course, Tehran will again reject his assertions anyway. This leaves the US with very few options. If the end game here is a resolution from the Security Council the west may have to make some uncomfortable concessions. Perhaps it's time for Condee to quit dancing with the Russians and put on her sensible shoes.

#4 Nothing has change, simply replace Saddam's Iraq with Iran.
