The meeting of UN Security Council members on Iran is scheduled to take place tomorrow in Paris. The members will consider the concept of the resolution on the nuclear program of Iran prepared by the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany. The session will take place on the level of deputy foreign ministers of six countries, including Russia.

The authors of the draft resolution, the three European states and the USA, have serious discrepancies regarding the document. A senior spokesman for the Foreign Affairs Ministry of France said that Paris and Berlin would like to set up a tough restrictions for the resolution which would exclude the automatic use of military power.

Russian official Sergei Kislyak said that it was highly important to have the clear picture of Iran’s past activities. “Tehran, however, has made several decisions which were not meant to meet the requirements of the international community,” the Russian official said. Russia’s Foreign Affairs minister Sergei Lavrov stated earlier that it was extremely important not to violate the non-proliferation regime. On the other hand, the minister said that all members of the Non-Proliferation Treaty must respect the country’s right for the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

The chairman of the press service of the US State Department Sean McCormack said that the spokesmen for the constant “group of five” of the UN Security Council would discuss the text of the draft resolution which would force Iran meet the requirements of the international community. The US official added that the resolution based on paragraph 7 of the UN Charter would possess the power of the international right. McCormack added that the first resolution based on paragraph 7 of the Charter would not contain any sanctions against Iran.

It has recently transpired that the Pentagon was working on war scenarios to strike a military blow on Iran if the country continues working on its nuclear program. The USA does not exclude an opportunity of using nuclear weapons against Iranian nuclear facilities. The US administration rejected the information. President Bush acknowledged, though, that the USA could use political, economic or other measures against Iran.

Iran, You Ran, Let's Bomb Iran
When all else fails and you're becoming Nixon 2.0, why not just nuke someone, and smirk?

It's just like playing blackjack in Vegas.
Invariably, sitting right next to you is some guy, eyes shifty and body twitchy and making weird sounds with his mouth and smelling vaguely of sawdust and horse manure and dead dreams…down to his last chips. He makes one final stab, but his final bet tanks. He is out…

He then does what every miserable, lunkheaded gambler does at this point: In a fit of alcoholic rage and demonic encouragement, he says, "Screw it" -- and digs into his pocket, pulls out his last remaining crumpled $1,000 bill and slaps it down on the table in one big final gesture meant to turn his fortunes around all at once, goddamn the wife at home and screw a decent meal and forget every ironclad rule of gambling because dammit the gods owe him and he's long overdue for a change in fortune. Yes. Right. Sure he is.
…
Now, here he is, sitting right next to all the other countries at the Big Table, representing America, it's little Dubya Bush… his poll numbers hovering right near Nixon levels during his darkest days…pockmarked by scandal, buffeted by storms of disapproval and infighting and nascent impeachment. He intentionally authorized the leak of security information merely to smear an Iraq war critic, he lied about WMD and lied about Saddam and lied about making the United States safer and lied about, well, just about everything, on top of launching the worst and most violent and most expensive, unwinnable war since Vietnam.…

What's to be done? Why, do what any grumbling, furious, confused, underqualified alcoholic gambler does: reach down deep and say, "Screw the nation and screw the odds and to hell with the rest of the planet," and pull out one more desperate, crumpled war from deep in your pants, slap it on the table and hear the world moan.… One last, desperate gamble. Slam that last drink, scrunch up your face, screw the rules and let the bombs fly. What, you don't think he could do it? Don't think a nuclear attack on Iran is possible? You haven't looked into the tiny, ink-black eyes of Dick Cheney lately. You haven't seen Rumsfeld's arrogant sneer, seen Bush looking confused and lost, wondering where all his "capital" went, desperately hunting for a legacy and finding only irresponsibility and self-righteousness and death.

If it gets to that you better believe I'll be in the streets along with everyone else I know. We'll make the French revolution look civilized.
