Reply #5: Of course it does nothing

It was designed to. Even if it was crafted to do something it would be meaningless to the Bush regime. The point in marking this event was just that, to mark an event in the process. Its interesting that it doesn't mention sanctions, and it has the strangest language about the absense of evidence that Iran isn't doing something improper with the uranium. Guilty until they prove themselves innocent, I suppose.

So this is the UN security council reaction after months of prodding by the Bush regime for some strong statement or resolution. The only thing they could manage is this toothless, non-binding letter that draws it out for another month. That's where it stood yesterday. That's all.
