I still think China and Russia are dragging their feet on the Iranian issue. Recently, they even went against the US and the EU on their statement to Iran because "it was too strongly worded." Some of you talk about diplomacy with Iran... diplomacy is what has been going on for the last 2-3 years and *gasp* it's not working. That nutty Iranian president is basically telling the world "f**k you all if you oppose us having nuclear technology." I'm totally for any nation to have nuclear technology under the NPT but, but Iran had a covert nuke program which thank God came into light because of a few brave defectors, and Iran sits on top of some of the world's biggest oil reserves, I don't see why they would need nuclear technology for "electricity." As far as I'm concerned, if this whole Iranian nuclear issue falls through, the blame rests solely with China and Russia, but I'd say more with China because at least Russia has tried to come up with proposals whereas China has been sitting back throwing around their veto weight (which I think they should hand over to Japan). China and Russia are only looking out for themselves because they invested heavily in Iran and they could care less if Iran had a nuke.
As for placing sanctions on Iran and them cutting off oil supplies. This is an unlikely scenario because 1) Iran have said they would not use such a measure, and 2) it would hurt them too. Iran supplies the world with crude oil but the world's refineries supplies them with gasoline due to the fact that Iran's refineries are outdated and/or non-functional.
I seriously hope the US, EU, and Israel are doing some great intel work to make some strategic strikes against Iranian nuclear/military sites... I also hope the smart half of the UN are going to tell China and Russia to suck a fat one if they keep pussy-footing the Iranian nuclear issue. Anyone with half a brain can tell that the Iranians are buying time as we speak to power up their centrifuges.
