Will George let Johnnie (that’s Mahmoud to you) get the Bomb? Frum guesses yes.

David Frum (found via Randall Parker and Stanley Kurtz) writes that the Security Council members other than U.S. all oppose any action against Iran. He continues:

Did the president call on the Security Council to reconsider? Did he challenge the Iranian bomb program before the world? He did not. He said nothing about it. There will be no UN action, no Security Council sanctions, nothing. Not that they necessarily would have done any good, but they are out of the game. America’s dwindling list of Iran options has dwindled further to just two: unilateral military action without any semblance of international approval to pre-empt the Iranian bomb program—or acquiescence in that program.

And I’m guessing that the option to emerge will be: acquiescence.
