Was the attack on US Embassy in Greece a response for the Iran Embassy?
in northern Iraq? This war is dangerously close to spreading outside the borders of Baghdad. And outside the borders of Iraq. When the troops are moved into Baghdad, who is to say the violence doesn't move elsewhere? This disastrous war of "choice" is at a very dangerous crossroads and could escalate to something much, much deadlier...

1. Greece has long been a hotspot for terrorist entering/exiting Europe
at least that is what I heard a lot of just before the Athens olympics.

This was a very rapid response if it was. I haven't seen any footage-was it big? or could one person have pulled this off?

2. with the fleet sitting a few miles . . .
. . . off the Iranian coast, taunting Iran, escalation is a sure bet, unless grown-ups act fast.

this is unbelievable.

3. Two choices
Outrage by small time violent political group or a simple US(or Israeli) sponsored plot to add to the background. Or someone was lighting matches on the toilet.

My argument for Israel is the symbolism of "Piss or get off the pot".

Useless small potatoes for Iran whose biggest threat is its oil.

4. Who knows? That was my first thought but as screwed up as
things are now thanks to the Neocons and their front man bush** I would not be surprised.

5. Could be....
Iran has an extensive web of foreign agents throughout the world, much as the United States, but not on the same scale. Who knows? I'm sure the White House could manufacture enough evidence to support the notion. They manufactured enough evidence to get us into Iraq, didn't they? :shrug:
