I'm imagining a scenario whereby we manipulate the World Cup through bribes, intimidation, "accidents", etc... and engineer a victory for Iran. This would send the pro-democracy forces in Iran into orbit and lead to an overthrow of the current regime.
If I ran the CIA I would do this, for sure.
I heard that the CIA has developed a remote control soccer ball. It is linked to a geosynchronous orbiting satellite and little Billy Smith, age 6, will use his next generation Xbox to make sure that Iran wins the world cup.
Is it me or what? I see pictures of what appears to be happy soccer fans. I see no clenched fists or any indication that there is a political riot. As I stated in an earlier post; "Sounds like normal behavior after a soccer win. The same thing goes on in England and Germany. (Not Political) (Barricades, armed rebellion, now thats political.)" Every time I bring up these posts to my Iranian friend he thinks I'm crazy. He's no fan of the present regime. He wants those "arab" mullahs out too.
