If there's one thing the lead-up to the Iraq war taught us, it's that neo-cons and their ilk have neither the patience nor the subtlety which diplomacy requires. In fact, as you can plainly see from her post, they view it as a weakness.Diplomats from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- the U.S., Great Britain, France, Russia and China -- plus Japan were meeting Monday afternoon to discuss future steps. A U.S. official traveling with President Obama said the permanent member nations and Japan met privately late Sunday after the Security Council adjourned and are reconvening after diplomats from these nations run their discussion by their governments.
"We are making decent progress," the official said. "But this is going to take days. Nothing is going to be resolved today or tomorrow."
My comment merely contained the above quote.
