No Method. Just Madness

So all the talk of whether Iran is trying to distract the G-8 from Iran's nuclear ambitions by initiating the Lebanon fighting or whether Iran is following Hizbollah's initiative may be missing the point.

Is Iran stirring things up to create the chaos for the end times that will bring the 12th Imam back, signalling the final victory of the Shias?

Iraq the Model notes ominously:

Both Ahmedinejad and Sadr believe it is their duty to pave the way and prepare the ground for the rise of the Imam whose rise, according to their branch of Shia Islam, requires certain conditions and a sequence of certain events; the story is too long to discuss in one post so I'll just move on to offer my observations…

We are seeing some signs here that make us think that Iran and its tools in Iraq are trying to provoke the rise of the imam through forcing the signs they believe should be associated with that rise. One of the things that do not feel right is the sudden appearance of new banners and writings on the walls carrying religious messages talking specifically of imam Mehdi. These messages are getting abundant in Baghdad and in particular in the eastern part of the capital where Sadr militias are dominant and a special number can be seen in the area of the interior ministry complex.

The interesting part is that these banners appeared within less than 24 hours after Hizbollah kidnapped the Israeli soldiers. Coincidence?

I don't think so.

So, Iraq, Gaza, and Lebanon may not be the end of this Iranian mischief. If the objective is just pre-salvation chaos, will we see Iran's friends start killing in the Balkans, Argentina, Europe, Somalis, East Africa, and wherever else the Pasdaran reach? Could the Iranian government actually start a wave of killing the opposition within Iran just to add to the chaos?

Yes indeed, lovely decade we're having here.
