Late August in Iran

Late August in Iran

The deadline for Iran’s s response to the UN Security Council’s Resolution on its nuclear program is 30 August. Now Tehran has announced major military exercises will take place from 19 August.  Apparently, 22 August is an important religious date for the whack-jobs that run that country … and the newspapers are full of foreboding about a prospective nuclear test in North Korea, which is Iran’s nuclear godfather. Anyway, Steve Schippert has a very good piece on this apparent synchronicity over at ThreatWatch.org  (http://inbrief.threatswatch.org/2006/08/synchronicity/).
