Does Iran really want to start WWIII?

Iran fires missiles in war games:

"Iranian state television reported, without showing any footage: "Dozens of missiles were fired including Shahab-2 and Shahab-3 missiles. The missiles had ranges from 300km up to 2,000km."

The television station said that the military manoeuvres, named Great Prophet Two, would last until November 11 and include drills in the gulf and Sea of Oman, and would be a show of defensive strength."


Update: Bush now just needs to oh-so-accidentally sail one of his warships into the path of an Iranian missile and we have our Gulf of Tonkin excuse.

Iran probably doesn't want to start WWIII. They want the US etc to realize that if Iraq is a problem, that Iran will be 1000 times worse. They want to discourage us.
Pyrrhic victory, add it to your conversation.

Great. All we need are TWO lunatics armed to the teeth and mooning each other. This is not going to end well.

(A Pyrrhic victory (pronounced pirric) is a victory which comes at devastating cost to the victor.)
