On the side of Russia

As we all know, Bush wants to attack Iran to lift his sagging poll numbers and keep control of Congress into the hands of the Republicans.

Thankfully, the Russians (and the Chinese) are (so far successfully) hampering his plans. This is one of the smartest comments on the issue I've heard so far, from the Russian ambassador in London, Yury Fedotov:

"We have serious doubts sanctions would work. [They] could pave the way to a military action. The military option is a nonsense. It's [an] adventure that could threaten international stability in this region and beyond."
