What's Up, Doc? Why Iran Is Like Bugs Bunny

Tuesday , August 01, 2006

By Neil Cavuto

How are you at deadlines? Do you meet them? Beat them?

When I was in college, I was very big on trying to get term papers done early, not because I was a genius, but because I really hated any big project hanging over my head. Others relish the tension of the moment — that last minute rush.

Enter Iran. It's been presented a deadline — another one. The United Nations is telling the country, stop your nuclear hanky-panky or else. The "or else" is sanctions.

Iran doesn't appear to be too worried. I think I know why: Deadlines mean nothing if they're not followed by something.

It's like that Bugs Bunny cartoon, where he keeps drawing a line in the sand, daring Yosemite Sam to step over it. And when Sam does, Bugs draws another line and then another, then another. And Yosemite Sam? Well, he's just befuddled.

I think the U.N. is Yosemite Sam. And I think Bugs is Iran. Iran suspects the U.N. is feckless and clueless. And nothing in the U.N.'s traditional responses gives old Bugs any reason to think anything else.

So old Yosemite Sam keeps plodding. And old Bugs keeps mouthing. Only this Bugs gets no carrot. And what's more, offers none either. It’s a cartoon, I know. But very cartoonish, I know too.

HEHEhe


Honestly, this is a fair and accurate assesment. The UN has shown time and again that it can not effectivly control any country with sanctions. Why would it start to work now?

You have to take into cionsideration the type of people you are dealing with. Iran could care less about its people, simply wants to be a superpower like Sadaam. fear and intimidation or the days polotics and oppression is for desert.

they will push untill somene (Israel) pushes back.

I think its a fair assessment.  We will see what happens when August comes to a close.

It's an accurate assesment.

"Don't you dare build those nukes or we'll draft a harshly-worded letter against you!"

I think that pretty much sums it up. XD

That was just too funny.  The cartoon...not the situation....  LOL

But good analogy.
