That’ll learn ‘em
Those uppity Iranians decided “Eh, what the hell” and went back to playing with uranium this week. This, of course, was in direct violation of the wishes of the International Community.
That is, if you CAN be in direct violation of someone saying, “Hey, um, would you mind, uh, you know, not doing that? It’s really bothersome.”
And proving once again that the International Community is the exact equivalent of an upper-middle class American mom, it has gone and threatened Iran with a TIME OUT!
The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unanimously approved a resolution on Thursday demanding that Iran suspend all nuclear activities it resumed earlier this week, a diplomat said.
Wait. Did I say the International Community has threatened Iran with a Time Out? I lied. They’ve threatened to threaten them with the possibility of a Time Out.
The diplomat from a country on the board said the resolution, drafted by France, Britain and Germany, expressed “serious concern” at Iran’s resumption on Monday of nuclear work that could be used to make atomic weapons. But it did not call for Iran’s case to be referred to the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to impose sanctions.
However, European Union diplomats said that if Tehran fails to comply with the resolution they will push for Iran to be referred to the U.N. council for punitive action in September.
Can you imagine the laughter in Iran right now? “Hey, fellas! Get this. The EU (snicker-snicker) says that if we don’t stop with the nuclear naughty business, that the EU will be forced (giggle-giggle) to, wait… you’re not going to believe this. Are you sitting down, because this might scare you… The EU (tee-hee-tee-hee) will refer us to the U.N. (hahahaha) for punitive (HARHARHAR) action. Hooooooooo. Oh. Hey, you, get off… I know, I know. U.N. Punitive Action. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA…. but still … get off the floor. You’ll dirty your lab coat. And pick up that plutonium rod.”
And let’s stop calling it “English.” It should be “American!”
