I'm sure Iran is shaking in its boots

Oh, boy! In the face of Iran's threats to annihilate Israel and its promise to reactive its nuclear program, the world is bringing out its big guns. It's going to tattle to the U.N.:

If Iran continues on its current nuclear course, it will leave the international community no choice but to refer Tehran to the U.N. Security Council for possible actions, the White House said on Tuesday.

Oh, yeah, the big, scary, effective U.N. You know, that U.N. of liberal fantasists, that has absolutely nothing to do with the real U.N., the one mad dictators just manipulate and laugh at (when they're not serving on the Security Council or the human rights division). I can only hope that what the Bush administration is really saying to Iran is that it should remember that, in Iraq, once the U.N. did nothing, the U.S. came in, with guns blazing.
