NYT on Iran

The NYT has an article on Iran entitled "At UN, views on Iran and N. Korea are divided". It talks about the fact that some countries are hesitant to apply sanctions to Iran that would cut off its supply of refined fuel products, such as gasoline.
This is misleading and typical of mainstream coverage as it assumes that everybody agrees on sanctions and that the only debate is about what kind of sanctions. In fact, most of the world opposes sanctions on Iran when one looks at public opinion polls in the world.
