Awwwww ... Does that mean I have to cross Tehran off my vacation list?
Who WANTS to go to Iran???????????????????
Woah...guess that means I have to cancel the beach - or would that be desert? - vacation!
I figure the best way to handle the Iranian fiasco, is that if they want nukes so bad, just give them nukes.
Who the Hell is going to Iran these days??
(Well, except Iranian born Obama handler/advisor Valarie Jarrett.)
What, no more beheadings unless Trump backs down? An embargo on suicide bombings? Could be series...
Damn...now I have to cancel my three-month walking tour of iran. Maybe I can still do it in pakistan or afghanistan???
Paki’s have nukes. We give Pak loads of money to keep their finger off the trigger.
You need to try Mecca first! Maybe stay at one of their nice Christian or Jewish hotels.
Single women may not leave Iran and must marry first because many single Iranian young ladies left and never came back.
More good news!
Pakistan is one of the least stable nations on Earth. Its government is rife with Jihadists and Jihadist supporters and financiers.
Several years ago they fought a sudden, short, sharp, and to the outsider, bewildering war in the hinterlands. They raided allied and enemy Jihadists alike. It made no sense and had no clear objective...until the Indians leaked they believed the Pakistanis had lost control of one or more nuclear weapons which had fallen into Jihadist hands. Presumably, they got them back or they certainly would have gone off someplace.
Nuclear weapons have signatures. Had they gone off somewhere they might have involved Pakistan in a nuclear war they were not prepared for and would not survive. That’s the double-edged sword of having nukes and an unstable infrastructure.
Yes, destabilizing an already tottering regime would be a bad thing. I hope the various world powers have plans to deal with this inevitable eventuality. But, no matter what, lots of people will get hurt.
