Iran's success in reaching such a "breakout capacity" – a stage that would allow it to produce enough fissile material for a bomb in a matter of months – crosses a "red line" that for years Israel has said it would not accept. [Emphasis added.]The other, concerning Israel, notes:
Israeli President Shimon Peres chose hard-line Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to form a new Israeli government, giving Netanyahu six weeks to cobble together a coalition. [Emphasis added.]Since all enlightened people know that we're just a bunch of randomly arranged atoms hurtling through space, we're inclined to dismiss this as just mere cosmic coincidence. Unless, of course, "red" and "hard" turn out to by synonyms.
UPDATE: In a political world where red and blue are opposites: if red is hard, what does that make blue? And if a red-Netanyahu takes a hard-line on extremists like Iran, what are we to conclude about a blue-Obama?
