BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A leading U.S. senator warned Russia and China on Friday of damage to their relationship with the United States if they refused to go along with sanctions against Iran. Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona told a Brussels conference that Iran's nuclear program posed the greatest security threat to the world alongside terrorism.

The U.N. Security Council should impose sanctions including an investment ban, a travel ban and asset freezes on government leaders and nuclear scientists, McCain said. Asked what consequences there would be if Moscow and Beijing blocked such a move, he told reporters: "Clearly it's going to affect many areas of cooperation between our two countries. There will be a reaction in the U.S. Congress." McCain, a potential White House contender in 2008, said he could not be specific that the areas affected could include trade...

McCain said the United States must not rule out military action against Iran as a last resort, saying: There's only one thing worse than military action and that's a nuclear-armed Iran." ...

He said that military action would be very complicated but the United States could not risk a nuclear Iran exterminating Israel.

4. He needs to shut his warmongering ass up...
I think all of them are working behind the scenes to help finish the job bush has done to the U.S., By them I mean Russia and china and no telling who else Putin already told Bush to go to hell, why didn't they talk about that all day like they do about all of the other simple non news they put on everyday.
