#1 Interesting article. And quite plausible.

Assumptions implicit to the Iranian game plan are that the mullahs can control the pace of the game and that the US and Brits are paralysed and unable to act while the mullahs stomp internal dissent.

Changing the tempo of the game politically at the UN and militarily with a naval blockade while doing everything we can in the way of stirring domestic unrest and sabotage cancels those assumptions.

Nice oil export business ya got there, Mohamed. Be a shame if something happened to it. And what's with those rioters?
