The recent inflamatory comments by the stooge Iranian president (a position akin to Home Secretary in our parlance) were only made known to the Iranians en masse on Saturday. Kinda puts the kybosh on it being anything other than the usual Arab bluster to the converted. Impotent, infantile rabble-rousing to be sure, but definitely not an official state declaration of intent.

And since when did Islamic fundamentalist rantings about the desirability of Israel's and the west's annihilation become front page news? What about that whole burning-stars-and-stripes public holiday they announce whenever Kalashnikov sales dip?

Sure, it's unacceptable, sure they're a bunch of utter wanks, but the fervour that Blair picked this up and ran with it (Bush's silence is deafening, the sure sign of this being a co-ordinated campaign) means one thing:

We're being primed for another war.

Don't worry, kids. Knob jokes and swear words to follow...
