Smarter than an Iranian leader?
I know there are a lot of sue-happy people on the planet, but you would think that Iranian officials would be at least smart enough to remember one of the first rules of such maneuvers is not to change your story. How on earth they could go from saying explosives were leftover from an exhibition to saying that agents of the U.S. and Great Britian caused the explosions is beyond me. Even if their change of story was a pack of lies, they should be smart enough to keep running track of those lies so as not to look stupid. Until this moment, I thought we were at least dealing with Iranian leaders who were moderately bright, if a bit skewed in their thinking. Now I'm thinking I've been giving some of these odd little characters a bit too much credit.
