Given the Mexico connection, surely the Zimmermann Telegram would be the more apropos analogy?

Money talks. When you run out of money, guns talk too and we have lots of those and lots of people willing to hold them over in foreign countries.

Given Iran's overall notoriety and President Ahmadinejad's behavior at the UN general assembly, there is a definite motive for such a plot to be genuine.

However, a ground force invasion and occupation of Iran is unlikely anytime in the near future. The neoconservative base, who pushed for the war with Iraq, was pretty scattered after the WMD fiasco. Plus public support for any military action overseas is at an all time low.

Although on a side note, I do not believe Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear capabilities.

You know what is funny The fact is, however, that Israel is actually more of a threat to Iran than ever Iran is a threat to Israel.

The reason why Israeli Zionists and their neoconservative friends have gone to such lengths to demonise and propagandise Iran is because they need to paint a picture of an evil Iran to present to the world to justify an eventual attack on Iran. In other words, they are trying to build a fake case belli for such an attack.

Wikileaks is suspected to be a CIA project. Google Truth about Wikileaks. There is some sentiment out there that it is CIA/Mossad disinformation. Peace.

Of course there is. A lot of people have an interest that this sentiment exists.

Ahmadinejad doesn't control the armed forces of Iran.
In any case I don't see the benefit for Iran to assinate the Saudi ambassador.

Iran does many things that are not in their best interest. Why should we expect them to act rationally here?
