You should see comments in lefty UK papers - this is all a setup by US/UK to attack Iran for OIL, "Gulf of Tonkin" etc. Unbelievable.
That's truly incredible. However, I did see some comment here in the US yesterday (in some lefty press source, although it was in passing and I don't recall where) that this was all a "set up" by the US to "provoke" Iran into doing something rash and then we would have an excuse to attack them. These people are delusional.
First of all, it was obvious that this whole thing was planned in advance - the Revolutionary Guards don't act on their own. Ahmadinejad wanted an excuse to get out of coming to the US, and he also probably has some other objective, which I think may be just a propaganda win and looking big in the eyes of the ME. But of course the delusional left has now adopted Iran as their favorite misunderstood nation poster child.
