UN Security Council BARKS at Iran, but can it BITE, too?

The UN Security Council has BARKED at Iran imposing numerous sanctions against the errant regime for its nuclear program, which has been a source of discomfort for many of Iran's neighbors. Keeping Iraq in mind and having fresh memories of Saddam Hussein ignoring the UN, it remains to be seen whether the world body (under a new Secretary General, Ban ki-Moon) will have the BITE to follow up its BARK when Iran (like Iraq before it) ignores its sanctions.

Update: Well, that didn't take long. Already Iraq is balking at the UN imposed sanctions. Its Ambassador has accused the world body of choosing sides and ignoring Israel's "apparent" nuclear weapons program while targeting Iran's use of nuclear energy for "peaceful means." Is UN going to GROWL to signal an impending BITE? We'll all have to wait and see.
