According to the Boston Globe, the U.S. and the E.U. are moving toward getting the Iranians before the U.N. Security Council on the nuclear question. I'll believe it when I see it. I still think that even if the IAEA votes to send it to the Security Council, the Russians or the Chinese or both will block any meaningful action.

Daniel Drezner has a good roundup of the latest on Iran. I found the link from Instapundit.

Here are two competing views from the UK concerning what to do next with Iran. One from the Guardian and the other from the Telegraph. Read them both. This is the dividing line. We either live with a nuclear Iran, or we do not. But will the Israelis be willing to live with a nuclear Iran?

Jonah Goldberg at NRO says, with tongue-in-cheek, that we need a Saddam in Iran, instead of the religious fanatics who currently hold the reins. At the same site, Michael Ledeen again calls for regime change in Iran, by way of helping those inside Iran who wish to overthrow the Mad Mullahs.

Charles Krauthammer sees the ongoing diplomatic dance as a 'charade'. He is probably right.

I can't see a good outcome in all of this, just some outcomes not as bad as others.
