Pardon me for being a little paranoid. I love conspiracy theories, and the prospect of Iran’s Ahmedinejad planning war through secret phone calls with Bush and Blair for some really nefarious reason (oil prices, control through instability, a new Cold War) is truly hair-raising.
The United States is adopting a relatively quiet attitude, perhaps by agreement with London that a strong US position against Iran might not help.
If Iran still shows defiance and won’t let the Brits go, it may be considered casus belli to launch an invasion / rescue mission. The world quakes in its boots, the Senate / Congress gives the Bush administration even more money to prosecute war, elections are delayed, anyone who’s had any contact with Iran is under suspicion (I’m lookin’ at you, Jeff). And so on.
