U.N. Dithers over Iranian Nukes!
The Iranian Mullocracy has won another round in the U.N. as the representatives of the United States, Great Britian, China, France, Russia and Germany failed to reach an agreement.
Six world powers made "substantive progress" but failed to reach an accord Tuesday on a U.N. resolution to punish Iran for defying demands to halt its nuclear program, the French Foreign Ministry said after talks in Paris.And this is a surprise because???????

Tehran made a new threat of retaliation if the powers opted for sanctions."We made substantive progress on the scope of the sanctions targeting proliferation-sensitive activities. There remain several outstanding issues, upon which we will reflect over the coming days," the French ministry said in a statement. "We are now close to a conclusion of this process."
Readers of world news ought have in the back of their collective minds: "League of Nations", The Kellog-Briand Pact, "Peace in our time", and the absolute silliness (which brought horror) of the mentality which gave the world The Maginot Line.
Sadly, war and conflict is more the "natural" order of things than peace. Americans would be wise to understand that and then move carefully to prevent war and/or alone (or with others) stamp out the hyenas that prey on their own people and their neighbors. Further, assisting people to make their own countries better seems a good idea...at least, to me.
