A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. “Are you At least I’m true to myself mad?” exclaimed the turtle. “You’ll sting me while I’m swimming and I’ll drown.”
“My dear turtle,” laughed the scorpion, “if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?”
“You’re right!” cried the turtle. “Hop on!” The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said:
“Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there’d be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?”
“It has nothing to do with logic,” the drowning scorpion sadly replied. “It’s who I am.”
Plutonium and highly enriched uranium traces have been located in a nuclear waste facility inside Iran. The IAEA has issued a report calling for an explanation.
The US has been consistently heavy handed in it’s insistence that Iran cease all nuclear ambitions but as of late has, for some reason shown signs that we feel the world and the US can live with a nuclear Iran. I guess you can call us the Turtle.
Former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has gone so far as to can Iran the “new Germany” and that Iran is planning a new holocaust. Iran has stated many times that it will seek nuclear proliferation and that they envision a world without Israel on the map. Speaking of Iran, Netanyahu said Believe him and stop him, this is what we must do. Everything else pales before this.” and I for one agree.
Simply issuing a UN post it note to Iran to “knock it off” solves nothing.
