Yahoo News - Security Council meeting degenerates
AP reports, "Syrian and Iranian diplomats traded barbs with Israel's U.N. ambassador on Tuesday, as a routine Security Council meeting on fighting terrorism degenerated into insults and accusations."

Commentary: I expect more calls from the anti-Western axis for transparency in Israel's nuclear program and continued efforts to generate sympathy for the Palestinians. Where does Israel and the status of Jerusalem rank on the international agenda? Is it among the top ten issues? The top five? The number one issue? The answer to that question provides something of a marker as we count down to the end of this age.
