Bibi and the bomb

I think it's hilarious that the American media have been so reluctant to play with the image of Bibi and his bomb at the U.N.  (Jon Stewart noted the occasion; alas, he was a little off his game in that episode.) Israelis, of course, have far more freedom to mock. This site contains a collection of modified versions of the instantly-infamous tableau. My favorites:



On a more serious note: Count me among those who thinks that the world will not face an imminent apocalypse if Iran gets the bomb. When was the last time Iran attacked another country?

As you pore through the history books in search of an answer to that poser (you may have to go all the way back to the days of the Parthian empire), you may want to ponder two related questions: 1. When was the last time Israel attacked another country? (If you don't know offhand, ask someone from Lebanon.) 2. By what right does our arrogant nation decree that the Israelis may possess nukes while Iran may not?

    Also here. That's the funny side but there are claims by some that Israel intends to computer hack the US banking system and blame it on Iran. See here and here.

    Uh-oh, it looks like Bugs missed dat left toin at Albukoikee again.

    I wonder when was the last time anyone made a bomb shaped like that--a globe with a fuse that the user lit by hand?

    If Iran makes bombs like that, all Israel needs is plenty of Miners.

    (OK, who gets that reference?) ^_^
