iran thinks for some reason or another they are a big player in the game of world politics. but soon enough i think they are going to step into something that they wont be able to handle and realize just how small of a fish they really are. everytime iran wants to be heard they kidnap people. the us embassy in the 70's, troops in 04, now this. they are nothing but thugs playing in a sandbox
