Iranians behaving badlly...

Who exactly are the ideological parents of Al Queda, and how much development were they achieving before we needed their oil?

Yep - we help them fund radical islamic terrorism and chop off their citizens heads for sorcery and other "crimes" to the tune of billions. 

Before that, they were ruled by the same administration that developed Turkey - not a perfect place by any means, but leaps and bounds ahead of the medieval barbarism of Saudi Arabia.

There have been another couple of Iran-linked attacks in Thailand:

The Thai-Asean News network said police had confirmed the man as Sayed Murabi, an Iranian thought to have bombed his own house before hailing a taxi.

When the driver refused to pick him up, Murabi is reported to have thrown a grenade at the car. Police then pursued him before he tried to throw another grenade at them, but missed and blew off his own legs.

Pretty bad form to miss like that, no?

Israel Will Strike Iran To Prevent a Second Holocaust, says Krauthammer.

It's now September 29th.

Strike on Iran had failed to materialize.

I maintain that if the Iranians were close to having the bomb,  the Israelis would've bombed their *expletive deleted*it by now, US support be damned.
