Well, whoever kidnapped this Iranian diplomat sure is looking for an Iran-USA war |

If the guy shows up dead, there's going to be some serious yelling back and forth.
I guess the only question to ask is, who is it that actually wants to increase the tension between the two countries? I have my ideas.

1. Iran kidnapped our diplomats in 1979, if you are old enough to remember. |
|
When they overthrew the Shah(our fascist puppet). They did the same thing and Carter did everything he could to make sure the hostages got back alive and safe after 444 days, and they screwed him over by not releasing them until Reagan was sworn in.
The Iran hostage crisis is why the TV show Nightline exists. It started as a nightly report where they said America Held Hostage: Day such and such.

2. I had just been born when they took the hostages, |
|
so, no I don't really remember it. I've heard the stories, though.
Who do you think took this guy? What do you think will happen to him?

3. It gets really difficult to tell what is real, what isn't real, who all is manipulating what. |

4. I would say it's impossible to tell what's going on . |
|
There are all sorts of news bits on websites that can be trusted and on many of the liberal talk shows .
Almost each day there is another bit of news refering to the attack on Iran or how or when it will go down .
It is impossible to tell who is behind this other than the few we know who want this such as cheney and bush and the neocons or PNAC .
Israel is also implicated .
They seem to be looking for proof of one form or another to sell their plans or they will simply go ahead and go with the lies and explanation later . By then it will be a bit too late .
All I know is this is some scary stuff .
As far as Iran and the hostage crisis we did not have a completely crazy set of madmen in office then willing to take over the middle east at any cost . This is part of the scary part I refer to .
