Three weeks ago Iran had a strike involving over 100,000 people. Their economy is a mess and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership is on the block. There are factions in Iran jockeying to take his place. So why does an incident that can 'take the minds of the folks at home' off the domestic crisis not come as a surprise? The whole thing is a trumped-up issue that will unite the people of Iran against a common enemy and allow their thoughts to stay off the crap economy and idiotic leadership in their everyday lives.
