| #7 Give them chance after chance and hopefully by magic they'll have a change of heart. In other news, international heart transplants down sharply in today's trading. |

| #6 But did they ban ipods and video games? It's not 'serious' until they impose sanctions on those. |

| #5 The UN seems to think its job is to come up with excuses for countries to not get their a$$es kicked directly. Give them chance after chance and hopefully by magic they'll have a change of heart. Enough excuses/sanction. Time to kick some a$$. |

| #4 Word, Kalle. We need to dust off the old militaristic label gun and start plastering nine digit price tags all over the MME (Muslim Middle East). |

| #3 Who cares about sanctions? OK, it's better than nothing. However, it's far from sufficient. What we need is large-scale destruction. The world, and sundry tyrants, is watching. And they all want to learn a lesson: can one attack the West, wage proxy-terrorist wars, and build nuclear weapons with the explicit purpose of annihilating Israel and whatever parts of the West can be reached -- without paying a steep price? the last several decades indicate that the lesson says "yes, you can." UN sanctions are worthless in that context. |

| #2 The sanctions passed are to ban Iranian arms exports (of course that wont effect illicit shipments to hezb - but it means from no on only outlaws will have Iranian guns) and asset freezes on a wider list of officials. And it sets the clock ticking for the next round. |
