About as sure as I am that Chad won't have a manned space program any time soon. Available resources _do_ matter. Apparently, the level of enrichment just achieved is pathetic compared to what is necessary for a weapon. So, yes, there is time for continued negotiation. After that, I guess I would be more worried if I were Israel. Iran has ICBMs that can reach the U.S.? “Do you really believe it will take Iran five times longer to build a bomb in the twenty-first century than it took us to invent it and then build it back in the 1940s?”

George “Big W� Bush vs. Mahmoud “Mad Dog� Ahmadinejad

WWF has just announced the Cage Match of the century…a no-holds-barred holy war smack-down. The combatants are two loose cannons who have each been pile-driven one time too often.

It’s a winner take all grudge match. The stakes are high. Each man is allowed three conventional weapons and there will be one WMD perched atop a 30 foot pole that can only be used if the match exceeds 15 rounds. The winner will assume his rightful position as either “God’s Right Hand Man� or “Allah’s Main Mullah.�

Yes, you heard that right…it doesn’t get any better than this…it’s none other than George “Big W� Bush against that up and coming scrapper Mahmoud “Mad Dog� Ahmadinejad. Tickets go on sale Easter Sunday. Not available on pay-per-view. Seating is limited and United Nations Security Council nations will have first choice on floor seating.

Don’t miss this one…when it’s over there will finally be one nation under God…or Allah.
