#3 "Call the Soviets Russians and Chinese on it -- get a public vote in the Security Council and make them veto it. Then ask our liberal progressive buddies if we should get all unilateral over this."

I think this is a good idea.

Quibble - France almost certainly wont veto. Ergo by the Kerry standard, we wouldnt be unilateral :)
