#5  A curse or a hex, rather than an insult... Zen.

#4  Such miscalculations make history interesting.

To use an old Chinese insult expression;

May Iran live in interesting times.

#3  I don't think it will come to that. At least I'm betting it won't.

I find 2 things about this "article", an ultra-thin press release actually, fascinating...

The "article" ends without the punchline: The Mullahs told the "six world powers" to go stuff it.

That they feel comfortable in this ongoing PR campaign to trumpet their achievements, laughing all the while at what they perceive as the weakness of the West. I'll agree that they have this mostly right, but it only takes one misperception, arguably a very big one, to send themselves back to the Stone Age: believing the US is as weak-kneed as the rest. Such miscalculations make history interesting.

#2  Iran to announce nuclear 'breakthrough'

I think the big "breakthrough" is going to be an act of aggression so repellant that we are compelled to bomb Iran into the stone age.

#1  Gawd, the excitement is killing me. Will AhMad swallow on of the viles the clown dancers carried back in April?

P.S. Can we bomb yet?
