calm down, it is over!
nobody died.
Iranian – my arse.
Could be. Lots of Iranian exiles in the West. Some of whom dream to overthrow the Mullahs and who aren’t hesitant at all to resort to terrorism. Plenty of terrorist attacks happen inside Iran thanks to these guys.
Maybe Barba, but it all seems a little too well organised and as for the timing – well !!!?.
We human beings excel at pattern recognition. We had too in order to survive in prehistoric days. Being able to recognize the tiny tell tales that could make the difference between having a full belly because you found food and going hungry because you couldn’t kept us alive. Unfortunately in today’s world it also tricks us into thinking there is a pattern when there isn’t one.
