It's worth taking a look at events in Argentina over the last week when we consider the push by president Obama and his administration to become friendlier with Iran. We need to remember just who the leaders in Teheran really are.
More than a decade ago, there was a terrorist attack in Buenos Aires in the form of an explosion at the Jewish Community Center in that city. Over 80 people were murdered in the attack and many more were wounded. The attack allegedly was the work of Iranian agents although no one was ever caught. In the last few years, there was an effort to bring the Iranians to justice, but it get nowhere. The Argentine prosecutor in charge of the investigation alleged that Argentina's president and the people around her had prevented any charges from being filed; the story is that Iran basically paid off president Kirchner in some way to keep their people from being indicted. The prosecutor was supposed to release further information on the story this week. Then last week the prosecutor was shot and killed. The first story from the government was that it had been a suicide, but that was not true. Now the government is claiming that the murder took place in order to make it seem that the government itself had carried out the killing. The reporter who broke the story of the murder just fled Argentina because he was being threatened by the secret police.
Let's assume that the Argentine government is telling the truth. That means that the most likely ones who could have killed the prosecutor are the Iranians. On the other hand, if the government is not telling the truth and it had the prosecutor executed, then that was to cover up his allegations and the proof he had that Iran had bought off president Kirchner so as to avoid punishment for Iranian terrorists.
