The Die Is Still Being Rolled
In case you missed this, in the early hours of Thursday morning, the US army committed what could be considered an "act of war" against Iran, invading an Iranian government office in Iraq and taking six workers captive.
It's not like they had diplomatic immunity, or had the sovereign power a true consulate would have granted them. Still. We've arrested six Iranians on the property of their government. To a man like Ahmadinejad, this could be considered the reason to go to war. And no matter which way you take it, our troops are already overextended in Iraq.
Do you really want more blood on your hands, Mr. President?
