Any country's government with lick of sense would see this as a pretty strong message against their nuclear program. This is of course would only hold true if any government with a lick of sense actually took the UN seriously. And of course we are talking about Iran after all, where the entire country's population only has a collective double digit IQ

I don't know if this is the reason, but both Pakistan and Israel are not signatories to the NPT.

Actually the most popular person in Argentina, per a recent poll I read in La Nacion (B.A.'s oldest periodico), is none other than Carlos Gardel....
While the poor loved Evita... MANY hated her -I guess you can group me with them... hehe

Right, Astor Piazzolla seems to be second. (Che Guevarra ranks fourth or so.) I'm just guessing from trip observations.
