Diplomacy can be fun, too.

China Matters has a post that reviews continuing US blunders in its Iran sanctions policy, and how that is playing into the hands of China.

I suggest reading the entire post, the Cheney administration clown show is incapable of doing anything with diplomacy other than threaten and bluster (except caving in, as they did with North Korea), the rest of the world must be tired of it, though evidently it is a source of amusement to the Chinese.
Certainly, China’s Ambassador to the UN Wang Guangya, doesn’t seem to be feeling a lot of pressure. Responding to the news that Iranian President Ahmadinejad plans to come to New York to address the Security Council, Wang said:

“Any member had the right to come to the council...It will be fun if he comes, especially if in connection with adoption of this resolution.”

Fun, indeed, especially since Wang can enjoy a front row seat watching the EU ambassadors squirm in their seats as Ahmadinejad scowls at his erstwhile allies and trading partners.
