Life Is Not Fair
It be great if Iran was actually named Irun so that when we threatened it we could say, “Irun is about to become Iran” to imply we are going to destroy it and thus you’d use the past tense verb. Right now, that doesn’t make any sense.

Well…..it’s actually pronounced with a short i sound.
Sheesh!
I suppose you also pronounce Pakistan with short a’s.

I suppose we could use the past past participle. “Iran is about to become Ihadrun.” Just sayin’.

Some middle easterners have funny accents. They call themselves mooselimbs instead of terrorists. These same people call Iran “Ear-Ahn,” which sounds like an old scotsman getting mad at some kids. “Ear on my lawn again, eh? I’ll show you how an old scotsman goes aboot dealing with impish laddies!”
Americans are the only people on earth who make sense.

Too bad we aren’t enemies with Bolivia, because then we could say we are about to fade them into Bolivian.
But they killed Che.
So they’re good.

Besides, Iran won’t really fear the unicorn-rainbow brigade of love and tolerance, so… They won’t be running anyway until somebody has the balls to toss a few F-22s or maybe a nuke in there.

Nothing about Iran makes any sense. You talk about Tense? Damn right they make me tense. Present, future, OR pluperfect.
When I get tense, I get nervous. Nervousness leads to agitation, and agitation leads me to start cleaning my Baretta and wondering what I can persoanlly do to stop the Caliphate. That thought process leads to more tension…and on and on.
So lets get the Iran tense thing under control, Frank. Please. Or I’m not responsible for what happens.

I still say that Dubya should have turned Iran into the World’s Largest RV Parking Lot as his last official duty in office.
“Taking OUR people as hostages a generation ago? Take THAT!” **phwooooof**
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, too late now; Mister Ahmadinnerjacket has VIP status here now. I wouldn’t be surprised if he voted in our 2008 election.

NO ONE drops a pluperfect bomb and gets away with it. This is America, you dastardly linguist!

I’d like to hear the next Israeli PM say,
‘Iran’ is about to become ‘I-wish-Ida-not-threatened-the-Jews’.

As with most crises, you should turn to the one reliable source: 80′s new wave sensation Flock of Seagulls.

I would like Iran to magically become something lovely like an onion. Something that lives underground and can’t do anything to anyone. Or mayhaps it could go back to being Sodom so the Lord could destroy it again only this time take the entire Middle east with it.
I’d pay good money to see that.
