B.O.I.

To B(O.M.B) or not to B(O.M.B), that is the question.

Sorry, I like puns.  The Economist analyzes what to do with Iran and its increasing nuclear buff-ness.  War does seem like a stupid idea with Iran.  I've been seeing pamphlets up around campus suggesting that the US shouldn't sanction Iran, either, and that puzzles me.  Intrigued, I Googled "no sanctions on Iran", and stumbled onto this website.  I'm very interested in what these people propose we do about Iran.  Iran's repeatedly ignored calls to slow down their uranium enrichment, and in the past, has had secret reactors.  The country reluctantly allows inspections by an international organization.  This isn't George Bush Jr. being kind of stupid and invading Iraq while claiming WMDs.  This is various countries being concerned about Iran's ability to weaponize its nuclear material.

I wonder what these "no sanction" folk do when their kids misbehave.  Beating the kid (attacking Iran) might not be so good, but the kid has got to at least get a time out (sanctions), right?  I agree that Iran should be able to use nuclear energy (though it does seem odd that every other country in the world seems to want to NOT use nuclear energy, unfortunately), if someone tells you to slow your roll, you're going to look suspicious if you don't.  Just sayin'.

By the way, Outkast reference in the title?  Anyone?  Bueller?  No, not Boi like Big Boi, B.O.I., like B.O.B., but we're not talking about Baghdad.
