#1 I should be angry at Russia for preventing harsher sanctions. I mean all we've got now is limits on sales of nuke stuff to Iran (Busher excluded) and some financial freezes on a handful of individuals and companies. We wanted a whole lot more in the second res - ban on trade credits, much broarder asset freeze, etc. Looks like all we will get is a smaller increase the asset freeze, a ban on govt to govt loans, and a ban on Iranian arms exports (but not imports! Good move for an arms exporter like Russia - eliminate Iran competition)

But then, you know maybe theres something to raising the temp on the frog very slowly.

OTOH, the big question is still how much time do we have? One year, two years, four?
