Well, why the hell shouldn't they? The dollar is in the shitter. George is rattling his impotent little saber at them and threatening to wage war on them. Why should Iran prop us up? |

Someone told me that Iraq was considering to do the same thing before the current Iraq war and suggested that that was one of the motivators. Does anyone know anything about this? |
