does the res have any teeth??

It states that nations should inspect North Koreans imports "as necessary". I suspect that the US Navy will find a lot of "necessary". The resolution has no teeth, but it authorizes those who do have teeth to take measures on their own. If I am reading it right.

This is the key, nations can inspect, not the UN itself. Also, this calls Kim's bluff regarding his "act of war" talk and is a huge loss of face for him. This is how you whack crazy people, you goad them to self-destruct.

Much as I dislike the UN, you'll get no knee-jerk bad reaction from me on this one, this is good news for Bush, good news for America, bad news for Dems, and bad news for Kim. Notice how it all lines up nicley, as always?

Can't wait to hear Kim stomp his widdle foot.

Yep.
