Editorial, The Washington Post | Sepember 24, 2008
Even if Iran is currently racing toward accumulating enough uranium for a bomb, the financial crisis has reduced the sense of urgency in the US. ++ The UN Security Council and Germany will meet this week, but it’s unlikely that they will agree on any effective sanctions such as an arms embargo. ++ Only symbolic actions to further Iran's diplomatic isolation are realistic. ++ Of course, the presidential candidates want to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions, but so far nothing indicates that they will be more successful than Bush.
