Let’s see we have
Moqtada heading to Iran with his tail tucked. (unconfirmed)
and
Arrests in France of 11 guys with potential ties to al-Qaeda.
and
Iranian President ready to talk (?) hopefully, not like he writes!
and
Unrest rocking Ahmadijinad’s world as a car bomb kills 18 Revolutionary Guardsmen. The terrorism, not good, but anything that bugs him is good in my book!

I agree with you about Ahmandajihad or whatever his name is. (I refuse to learn it because he is a bug that should be smashed on the windshield of life).
If the terrorists are on the run, we must be doing something right.
Quagmire!
