We Are Being Too Tough On Iran … Or Or We?

For years now we are reading almost every news day about the measures we are taking to make sure that Iran does not obtain Nuclear Weapons. Iran is living in great fear about what we are doing to control their Nuclear Ambitions (if you could get someone to commit to give you a quarter every time you hear or read the words “Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions”, you would become wealthy very quickly).

Dear reader, here is where I need your help. Every since I was a small child I have lacked the ability to rank things in order of severity. Please help me overcome this shortcoming of mine.

Here is what our leaders have been calling the sanctions we are inflicting on this outlaw nation…

• Significant sanctions.
• Meaningful sanctions.
• Binding sanctions.
• Dire sanctions.
• Enhanced sanctions.
• Strong sanctions.
• Unified sanctions.
• Crippling sanctions.
• Economic sanctions.
• Renewed sanctions.
• Severe sanctions.

I will not get into combinations of the above because I don’t want to confuse you, as you try so hard to help me out of my dilemma (i.e.: Strong Binding, Severe Enhanced, Crippling Economic, etc.)

Please take a few moments to rank these sanctions in order of how effective they will be in getting Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions under control. It will probably be easy for you but I find this very difficult.

If any one of you spends two minutes worrying about these sanctions for me, that will be more time spent worrying about them then have the rulers of Iran spent worrying about them.

If you think I am being Foolish again in the above paragraph, don't think so fast. At this time the United Nations is in negotiations with itself about the fourth round of U.N. Economic Sanctions against Iran. What you want to bet that Iran was not aware of the first, second and third rounds of U.N. Economic Sanctions?

Getting back to my request for ranking help, I am sure that the muckity-mucks of our State Department would be able to do this ranking in short order. I would send this request to them but they have ignored other inquiries about equally important issues I have sent them in the past. That’s another thing I don’t understand.

Would I kid u?
