One thing I am wondering...
What's the level of desperation in this ploy? If things are going to get worse (for the government) will their propaganda outlets start ramping up the aggro on Americans? Or has it already got passed that? Is the Iranian "hatered" of America a bit to, well, nouveau? Is hatred of the British Empire all that will save them? Money is a sign of Poverty - Culture Saying
Plus, as I understand it, the ayatollahs are pretty paranoid about the Brits. It's sort of like Cuban exiles with Castro. If a car breaks down in Little Havana, it is undoubtedly -- somehow -- the work of Castro.
So they're both the easier and more natural target. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
