European negotiators, intent on reaching a peaceful agreement with Iran over its controversial nuclear program, have resorted to a tactic that has recently been shown to be the most reliable way to get a response in much of the Muslim world.
Recalling the reaction extraordinary Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, once again last week, demonstrations by a minority-turkish Iran during a new cartoon which I believe shows them in an unfavorable light, the Europeans have chosen to incorporate a cartoon in the latest proposal represents bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities.
During the next meeting with the usual contemptuous smile, but Iran's nuclear negotiator, the representative of the French cartoon explosive.
The Iranian negotiator sat back and said, "This comic is amazing. It 'is intended to be a hint?"
"I'm afraid so," the British negotiator volunteer.
"Do you mind if I beg your pardon?" He asked. "I must report this to our president!"
Then he ran with his Koran to call Iran.
"What? Another comic western that is an insult to Muslims?" President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has exploded. "Wait a powerful signal that the mullahs to hear about this! E-mail a copy now!"
When the duty Ahmadinejad received, quickly printed and carried out by the mullahs mullah, as he often does, displaying the cartoon in her smile, so respectful.
"What? A cartoon showing our sacred plants nuclear blow up?" The mullahs who ranks highest in the official end of the clamp Muslim gasped.
"It seems that way," said the President. "What should we do?
"If the Iranian people get wind of this," the cleric noted essay, "they might realize how much danger our policies are exposing them to inflammatory."
"We do not want that to happen," Ahmadinejad agreed.
"No, no, remember, never trust the average Iranian. We, in our far-sighted wisdom, has provided them with adequate education. So you can turn on us."
"But if the bombs go off, you might suspect something," the President has dared to suggest.
"And what happens if our military gets wind of their own cartoon?" Mullah speculated. "You might even suspect we are exposing them to unnecessary danger."
"And to quote an attempt to save his life," President Ahmadinejad proposed. "I mean, I'm sorry to report, can organize a coup."
"So it seems, like it or not," the mullah brood, we must respond to the cartoon. "
"Or, if you excuse me for my frankness, we could all be gone with the wind."
"No, no, my turban could fly away, and I can not have that" the cleric continued. "Every child is born with one at all. And 'Allah's way of telling us to always wear one." Then he reflected: "Anyway, after all these years, I forgot what the top of my head looks like, and I do not I know how I would react to seeing myself without it. "
"But I have defended our nuclear program so much, I sure could use a way to save face," Ahmadinejad prayed.
"No problem," said the Mullah. "And if we draw a cartoon to you to deliver an atomic bomb with Europe but with a smile of apology? First, make a joke, we joke back then?
"I like it. I've always wanted to be in my cartoon."
"And you can be. After all, you are not Muhammad."
"Where can I find a cartoon?" President Ahmadinejad asked. "We have only our leading cartoonist in jail for insulting the Turkish minority."
The cleric, given the difficulty and therefore a source of inspiration sprouted under his scalp dark. "Tell him that if we did draw him out of the clinker."
"You're so wise, my lord," the president said. "I call the jail at this time."
"No, no, go in person," the mullah recommended. "Then you can draw the cartoon while you're there - 'the life', as they say artists infidels."
"Again on the right. It 'going to jail." He stood up and hurry off as he turned in, said: "Allah be praised! Since the President is one thing. But getting to be a cartoon - even Muhammad can not be said that "
"Excuse me," said the mullah, a bit 'surprised by the allusion to Muhammad, and waving his finger to get close to Ahmadinejad. "You can not understand, Mahmoud. The way you conduct yourself is everything, if you will excuse my advice, a cartoon. Be more serious, like me." Then, pointing to his turban fine, he added, "And, incidentally, is the time to start wearing one of those sweaty delights yourself."
