WHAT SOME PEOPLE WILL DO FOR ATTENTION: Strategy Page discusses why Ahmadinejad just can't seem to get along with foreign countries. Now that he has proven himself a failure and people are openly mocking him in the street, he needs something that will make him look like a hero, something like...
The kidnapping of fifteen British troops earlier this year was but one of several attempts to grab foreign troops, and try to trigger a military response. Increasing Iranian support for Iraqi terrorists is another attempt to provoke an attack. So is the continued Iranian work on nuclear weapons.
But Iran's other activities, such as its connections with Syria and Hizbullah are another matter.
