Time is running out..
"EU: "Dear Iran, we want to negotiate with you."
Iran: "We are not negotiating."
EU: "But we really, really want to negotiate with you!"
Iran: "OK, so what is your offer?"
EU: "If you stopped making those nasty nukes..."
Iran: "The negotiation is over."
EU: "We would like to re-open the negotiation."
Iran: "We are not negotiating."
EU: "But we really, really...""
Sounds like liberalism.

People go on unemployment
Taxes raised to pay for it
