My Way News reports: "Iran's nuclear chief says his country will begin construction of a new uranium enrichment plant by March of next year [...] The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday passed a fourth sanctions resolution meant to curtail Iran's nuclear activity."
Comment: Well, there it is, Iran has responded to the U.N. with an obscene hand gesture known the world over. The U.N. will no doubt talk some more about this, debate is what the U.N. does best, but it appears that we are approaching the limits of what diplomacy can do in the face of extreme defiance. Eventually a point is reached, after threats and sanctions are tried, at which the only way to force a country to do what you want them to is to use military force. While we can speculate how near or far that point now is, it's clear that Iran will not compromise on their "peaceful" nuclear program unless they are forced to by another country. An attack on Iran may not be imminent but it is inevitable.
