As Iran Rejects Russia's Proposal on Uranium, Unrest Breaks Out in the Neocon's Family

The Neocon’s wife made the provacative point last night that it’s almost as if Iran is goading the West into attacking; as if they want to be attacked, possibly because they have something unknown up their sleeve in the way of a response. How else, she asked, can we explain the bizarre behavior: The public denials of the Holocaust, calls for the destruction of Israel, threats to pull out of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, threats to “cause harm and pain to the United States,” etc…etc… and now with this public rejection of the Russian uranium enrichment compromise, she believes it’s part of a calculated plan to get the west to attack. We then argued over the two theories of where things stand: 1) Iran and its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have gone completely insane (which would be a huge threat in and of itself), or 2) Iran and its leader are crazy like a fox which may explain Ahmadinejad’s brazen cockiness. I’m going with #1. My wife is going with #2. Will the marriage survive?
