1. Sure...but I'm wondering if we could legitimately be considered

a slightly more disruptive force, or a slightly less disruptive force.

If we were being honest, that is.

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday
that imposing wide-ranging sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program would
be "irresponsible."

"Our Western partners wanted to impose broad sanctions. We believe that
to impose these kind of sanctions is irresponsible. We will achieve the
opposite results," he said at a meeting in Brussels.
