Word has it that the Iranian delegates have asked those assembled at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation conference to continue enjoying the food and free parking for a while longer, as it consults with its government on the best way to torpedo the event. Reportedly, the delegates are trying to reach language that would allow blah, blah, blah.
So, at the risk of violating the Logan Act, here's some suggested language that might help break the impasse:
We hereby demand that the government of Iran cease all efforts with regard to its nuclear program by noon tomorrow. Or we will stop them for you.
The beauty of this language is that it allows the words, "nuclear program" to be replaced with virtually any objectionable activity. Try, "support for Hezbollah," or, "arming and funding of Hamas," or even "hastening the return of the Hidden imam." Noon where? Heh.
An optional follow-on paragraph:
After which, we will pursue unremitting warfare by military and all other means against your government, until it ceases to function as the government of Iran, and its leaders are either in Guantanamo Bay or otherwise appropriately disposed of.
Some would argue that this is the equivalent of waving a loaded pistol under our enemies' noses. Other might say that, with Carl Levin in charge of Defense, it's the equivalent of waving an empty pistol under our enemies' noses.
I would argue that it's a good baseline standard for the next elections.
