In Iran, the self-declared nuclear regime announced that it was enriching uranium to 20 percent. When President Obama took office, the Islamic republic had 400 centrifuges enriching up to 3.5 percent. A year later, it has 8,000 centrifuges enriching to 20 percent. CIA Director Leon Panetta now cautiously concedes that Iran's nuclear ambitions may have a military purpose. That's odd, because the lavishly funded geniuses behind America's National Intelligence Estimate told us just two years ago that Tehran had ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Is that estimate no longer operative? If so, could we taxpayers get a refund?
This is a perfect snapshot of the West at twilight. On the one hand, governments of developed nations micro-regulate every aspect of your life in the interest of keeping you "safe." If you're minded to flip a pancake at speeds of more than 4 mph, the state will step in and act decisively: It's for your own good. If you're a tourist from Moose Jaw, Wash., the government will take pre-emptive action to shield you from the potential dangers of your patio in Arizona.
On the other hand, when it comes to keeping you safe from real threats, such as a millenarian theocracy that claims universal jurisdiction, America and its allies do nothing. There aren't going to be any sanctions, because China and Russia don't want them

Well, I don't know about you, but that puts my troubled mind at ease. The thought of an operating hot tub in Arizona is nightmarish. Thank God for Mother Government to protect us from the threat of having fun.
What? You're concerned about that nuke thing in Iran? Oh relax you tightwad. It's not like our like-minded, freedom loving brothers are shooting their own peoples in the streets of Tehran and chanting "death to America and Israel" on a daily basis. You have absolutely nothing to worry about, you silly hate-monger. Now, stop breathing so much, you're killing my planet.
Everyone have their shades handy? Or have those been regulated too?
