The terrors of the earth 4
Obama in China, at a ‘press conference’ where no one was allowed to ask questions, read a statement in which he said:
We [himself and President Hu] agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent. Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions but if it fails to take this opportunity, there will be consequences.
Tremble! What might they be?
Again extending the time Iran has been given to change its policy while yet more diplomatic efforts are made to dissuade the mullahs from developing nuclear weapons.
Gosh! But if they still go on developing them?
Well then … there will be consequences.
As the powerless King Lear threatens:
I will do such things —
What they are yet I know not, but they shall be
The terrors of the earth!
