Brewing up

Things are definitely hotting up over Iran. I'm quite worried about it. If you pay careful attention to the Beeb you'll have noticed Iran accusing the UK of stirring unrest (the BBC probably agree), and the UK sending extra troops to Afghanistan (as per plan... but they're considering additions to the 4000 they're about to send). As it was things were already very bad.

All I can say is that the Iranian's noise over the last few months have been as much directed at the UK as at the US- we're the mothers of many evils, apparently. It makes me wonder if Chirac's gambit in threatening nukes may actually have been intended for the benefit of les Ros-bifs, after all.
