Another reason why this sure isn't Iraq all over again. Bush supporters actually posting articles concerning the UN that don't have anything to do with the oil for food scandal.
As for China footing the bill, I think they would prefer this to disappear.
Quote:Diplomatic preference
If it were, Beijing could find itself diplomatically isolated. That would only increase the pressure on Beijing to follow Moscow's lead.
But Beijing would like to avoid that crisis altogether if it possibly can. Its own focus is firmly on a non-confrontational diplomatic solution to the crisis.
Beijing's initial reaction to news that Iran was breaking its deal with the EU3 was to express its concern, but immediately reaffirm its commitment to multilateral negotiations.
Since then, the diplomatic temperature has increased dramatically but China has refused to change its position.
