The unpredictable factor in this game of brinkmanship is Ahmadinejad. In another defiant move, he laid out a radical vision of an Iranian new world order. The U.N. Security Council is an outdated relic of the post-World War II era and should be abandoned, he said.

That's funny, a lot of Americans have been thinking the same thing about the U.N. in total.
Indeed, when thinking about its World War II origins, one can marvel that France should have been made a permanent, veto-wielding member of the Security Council. I gather it was because we wanted more weight against the Russians and the Chinese, and we thought, all things considered, that the French would be on our side. Now, that's really funny!
