   'So let me see. On the one hand, we have a regime that is pressing full   
   steam ahead with its nuclear program and whose president has threatened to   
   wipe another sovereign state off the face of the map.   
      
      
   And, on the other side of the negotiations, we have Her Britannic Majesty's   
   Principal Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. A member   
   of the "EU3" -- the Franco-German-British team Washington has let take the   
   lead in negotiations with Iran -- Jack Straw has been at pains to emphasize   
   that no military action against Tehran is being contemplated by him or   
   anybody else. But in a sign that he's losing patience with the mullahs,   
   Straw's officials have indicated that they're prepared to consider the   
   possibility of possibly considering the consideration of a possible motion   
   on considering sanctions for the U.N. Security Council to consider the   
   possibility of considering.   
      
   But don't worry, they're not escalating this thing any more than necessary.   
   Initially, Britain is considering "narrowly targeted sanctions such as a   
   travel ban on Iranian leaders.''   
      
   That'll show 'em: Iranian missiles may be able to leave Iranian airspace,   
   but the deputy trade minister won't. No more trips to Paris for the spring   
   collections or skiing in Gstaad for the A-list ayatollahs. '
