Reporting Iran on nukes is a good start; UN should do more

On February 4th, something historic happened. The UN actually did something worth talking about. After years of running away from its own shadow, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) voted by a margin of 27-3 to report Iran to the UN Security Council. What will happen at the Security Council is anyone's guess, but it is hoped that the US will push for some punitive measure against Iran. This is a good start. The prospect of a nuclear Iran has reached a point where it cannot be ignored. Source: Article by Steve Laffey on Townhall.com "Too Many Carrots" Feb 17, 2006
