Cowboys and Euros


"Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe?" - Hamlet, Act III, Scene II

The Euros, having wrestled the issue away from the cowboy Americans in order to show the yokels how effective diplomatic negotiations can be when properly conducted by cultured professionals, seem to have run into an obstacle while attempting to negotiate the Iranian islamofascists into withdrawing their plans to build a thermonuclear bomb.

The Islamos' reply to the EU (pronounced Eeeeeewww) was essentially this:

"Eff off, infidel punks".

But the message was delivered in a subtle and nuanced way, which is important for everyone’s self esteem and helped the Euros validate themselves and to feel warm and nurturing to the negotiating partners.

Upon closer analysis of the Iranian “position” however, the euros have detected what they suspect to be a camoflaged rejection and now the whispered suggestion is that the entire affair might be referred to (cue the Star Wars theme) THE SECURITY COUNCIL OF THE MIGHTY UNITED NATIONS! The same United Nations that was so successful in getting Saddam to cease and desist in the past. Yes, that one. The United Nations of the 17 resolutions. That one. (Segue to Thus Spake Zarathustra! And heavy on the timpani.) That’ll show those primitives just how the cow ate the cabbage!

Can we fast forward this one past the previews and get to the part
where The United States does the needful for europe? Again?
