You know what they say, third time is a charm.

From the AP:

The U.N. Security Council approved a third round of sanctions against Iran on Monday with near unanimous support, sending a strong signal to Tehran that its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment is unacceptable and becoming increasingly costly.

For the first time, the resolution bans trade with Iran in goods which have both civilian and military uses.

The vote was 14-0 with one abstention from Indonesia.

Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazee told the council just before the vote that the government would not comply with the “unlawful action” against its “peaceful nuclear program.”

Come on, not even France and Germany are buying the “peaceful nuclear program” routine anymore. Even Libya, one of the non-permanent members of the council, voted for the resolution. The resolution was even co-sponsored by France and supported by Russia.

[sarcasm] We know that the UN has been very successful with its sanctions in the past. Just ask North Korea, Sadam Hussain, Syria, and Lebanon; to name a few.[/sarcasm]

When is last time you heard of an effective UN resolution? It makes you wonder what the US gets for its $1.26 Billion (2007) doesn’t it?
