An Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility was killed in a car bomb attack yesterday.

The Iranian government of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad immediately blamed the assassination on Israel and the United States of America.

Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, 32, was the fourth Iranian scientist to be killed in similar attacks in Tehran in the past two years.

Witnesses said two men on a motorbike attached a small magnetic bomb to Mr Roshan’s Peugeot 405 in a busy street outside a university campus, speeding off before the blast, which killed him instantly. A pedestrian was also killed and another person in the car badly injured.

I suspect Mahmoud is half-right.

From Ahmadinejad’s point of view we are ultimately responsible because Israel would not exist if it were not for the US.

He is correct that the Arabs would have destroyed Israel had not the US given Israel military aid over the years.

But the US has gotten its moneys worth from that arrangement.

Even now with these assassinations, I suspect that the US has some amount of involvement in them.

Good night! I just can’t tell you—I just don’t know why anyone would have done such an act on an enemy combatant.

Israel would not exist if it were not for the US.

Actually, it is the other way around.

Thus saith the L-RD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.Jeremiah 33:25-26

Well thank you but I doubt our spineless current leaders had anything to do with it.
But hang in there that may very well change...........
