...despite all the bluster from all sides, the search for a compromise formula on Iranian enrichment activities remains very much alive. A Russian proposal to enrich the fuel for Iran's reactors on its own soil - so as to prevent material being diverted for further enrichment for a bomb program - right now remains the most likely contender. There's no deal yet, because Tehran is insisting that it retain the right to continue small-scale enrichment for research purposes on its own soil, a demand flatly rejected by the West.

The Vice President is no star debater, but he was good enough to expose the meanspirited bluster of the little man from Texas. The second big loser of the evening: the strangely passive moderator, Larry King...
