Well, if there was ever any doubt, Iran has publicly stated that they want to wipe Israel off of the map. Spain and France are protesting with uncharacteristically harsh words directed at Israel…
I mean Iran. Heh. Just got in the habit of those two countries yelling at Israel when other countries threaten their existence. Silly habit of mine. Sorry about that.
Anyway, this Iranian death-threat seems somewhat harsh, considering they won’t even send their judo champion up against his Jewish opponent in the Olympics. If they shy away from a sissy Japanese slap-fight, imagine how they’d act in a war against a real opponent.
(And, no I’m not talking about Saddam’s Iraq in the eighties. We gave him hand-me-down worn-out secondhand boom-booms so he could more easily cull his own troublesome Shi’ite population as cannonfodder.)
I figure the solution to this whole IAEA/Islamic Bomb nonsense will involve the Russians outsourcing technical support for the nuclear reactors they’re building for the Iranians to India.
All it takes is just a slight Chernobyl-style problem with the control rods sticking, and…

So, who wants borscht?
Love it!!
That’s pretty sweet!
Funny. I’m waiting on hold with the DMV while reading this. It’ll totally work.
that’s dang funny stuff…as always. or nearly always. 87-94% of the time. Mostly. Where’s the podcast?
IF it could only be so!
So let it be written, so let it be done!!!!
….AND IRAN! IRAN SO FAR AWAAA-AAAY!
Persia never been on the Risk map. It’s Part of the Middle East.
Spaseebuh tovarisch.
Never show any sign of weakness, always go for the throat.
Fear – that’s the other guys’ problem.
…a big hole where Persia used to be…
I’m thinking that we’re not the first ones to be thinking along these lines.
Anybody remember that news link a couple of months back where some Japanese company (was it Hitachi?) is selling a mini-reactor to some town in Alaska?
It may be an interesting twist on this idea.
Help Desk: “You call back later, Eddie’s father be here then.”
Ha! And for once the outsourced Indian customer service works in our favor!
But I do resent your calling judo a sissy Japanese slap-fight. Okay, it is Japanese, but there’s no slapping involved, and it’s the karate and Tae-kwon-do guys who’re sissies. Trust me, I’ve done them all. The first time a boxer or some such eats the floor at high speed or feints from lack of blood to the brain, they go all wussy on you.
Seth is right, Judo is hardcore. Anyone who has been picked up with force, twisted and plowed into a mat at high speed knows this.
