I resign myself that Iran is going to get a nuclear weapon (they could build scores of dirty bombs now and building a simple device is within their means now)–but we are making it so they can build a device that can be placed on a missile. And we are guaranteeing that the Saudis (at a minimum) will have their own weapons too. And we are helping them do it.
It would be a terrible shame if Iran were to buy defective clever little devices used to make a fission weapon fis. Perhaps ones that would fis by accident, or fail to fis after a sustained acceleration, such as one would find in a rocket. Industrial accidents can be so messy, particularly ones that happen upwind of major population centers, like so many of Iran’s ‘research’ facilities are.
There is a novel by Joel Rosenberg or Davis Bunn with a similar ending. The rocket containing the nuke is detonated on site by a noble elderly scientist who doesn’t want his work to be used for military and hateful anti-Semitic purposes.
How do I hate thee,
Let me count the ways…
More numerous than grains of sand,
More than the stars and planets,
Increasing, multiplying exponentially,
More every day.
Mr. Branco, your fan base is growing rapidly. Finding your cartoons on many blogs. Thank you for putting the truth in satirical/ironic/metaphorical image form.
I think Branco will have to publish a book of his work soon.
Or maybe a book of completely new cartoons following a story line. Maybe “Little Red Riding Barry and the Big Bad Wolf!”

There ought to be little mushrooms on the ground to the right of the sign to show where things are going for Iran.
But he got Barry’s Mommy Pants just right!

This will end up badly.
We can only hope Iran’s efforts will be like ‘Palestinian’ rockets, most of them falling back into GAZA.
Many times evil people destroy themselves first.

Thank you US. We all have a part we can play and I’m grateful that Professor Jacobson and Legal Insurrection give me this opportunity to do mine.
Excellent, as always Branco!
Hope your day is blessed.
TY 🙂
