#1 Sky News has updated the original post. A watered-down statement of 'grave concern' was approved by the UN Security Council late this afternoon.

#5 "After three hours of talks, ambassadors from the 15 UN Security Council nations were still trying to agree on a watered-down press statement."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, will be the epitaph of our times.

#6 What's the difference between a statement of 'grave concern' and the 'watered-down' statement? About a bucket full of spit either way.

Does anyone expect 'strongly worded statements' by the UN or anyone else to do any good about getting the hostages released?

This is too much like the kid saying to dad, 'He's doing it again - make him stop it!" Except there ain't no dad to slap the other one upside the head.

When /if Blair finds his cajones and starts bombing Iran or blockading ports, then we might have reason for hope.

#7 Rest assured the US and/or the UK will have to veto the statement "deploring" their use of force against Iran

#10 UN Will Not 'Deplore' Iran

I'm sure that the irony of such a deplorable institution as the UN refusing to deplore a moral cesspool like Iran is entirely lost upon the UNSC members.
