#1 This resolution will not harm Iran and those who backed it will soon regret their superficial act.

Sums it up. The UN resolution is pathetic. As usual. The Iranians will use this as their "excuse" to develop nukes thereby making it the West's fault in their eyes.

#2 Why don't we just blow up that goddamned reactor and enrichment facilities? That would give us a little breathing room.

#3 FOX had a good show o'er XMAS weekend on whether America should be directly responsible for improving the lives and well-being of the Rogue nations = its enemies; versus just letting the Rogue-ies, etal. do their thing, but at uncertain or unknown future risk to America. IFF THE ONLY CHOICES FROM 9-11 IS THAT AMERICA EITHER RULES THE WORLD, OR IT WILL BE DESTROYED FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT BY ITS ENEMIES, THEN IMO AMERICANS WILL CHOOSE TO RULE THE WORLD IN THE AMERICAN WAY. We already know the Lefties > e.g. "USSA, NOT USSR, ERGO THE USSA MUST SURRENDER TO THE USSR", while SSSSSSHHHHHHHHH PRETENDING IT DIDN'T; or "Hated Despicable Ought-to-be-Killed-On-Sight Nazi Fascist America = also Well-meaning, Motherly Caring but Error-prone Communist = Limited Communist Amerika".
America = Amerika's mainstream Sacred National Communism-Socialism - you know, FEDERALISM.

#4 #2 - do we even know where the Iranian facilities are? They're most likely widely scattered and far underground. The US can barely translate Farsi documents as the situation is now.
Joe - the American electorate really doesn't want to rule the world, even if it were possible. It's bad enough to be the World Police. Manifest Destiny expired around Hawaii was annexed. I'm not sure where Guam fits in this picture.
