SO..  DID IRAN REALLY BELIEVE MORSI WOULD LET IT ALL GO THEIR WAY?
                                                                                                                                                                            
In the Middle Eastern game of Double Cross, Iran got “punked” yesterday!!
The moral to the story here was, never invite an Arab Shia to a Persian / Sunni pep rally and believe you are going to have things go your way.
I would have loved to have heard the Persians as Morsi was giving his speech!!!!
The battlefield of Sunni   vs Shia / Arab vs Persian, just grew more evident with this stunt.
Now, it’s true the NAM is about as relevant as the GCC or the Arab League, but the Iranians somehow thought having this group of  professional meeting holders in Tehran would signify  Iran’s    status in the world?????? Really??
I have mentioned before the Iranians seem to have a very unrealistic concept of how to influence the outside world and this event adds credence to my point.
What I find fascinating is how, once again, Morsi played someone or some nation to his benefit.
He never intended of showing up in Iran and making Iran look good, but I would be willing to bet he smiled the whole time he was meeting the Persians.
Truly his skills of deception continue to prove one of his most powerful  tools.
Yes, the game of Double Cross played another round in Iran this week.
I bet two things will happen.
1.        The Persians / Shias will not let this “betrayal” go easily
2.       This will not be the last time Morsi “plays” his local leaders.
