it is shrewd. Iran's in a stronger position now than it has been since before 1978. They aren't scared shitless of anything. Ever since 1979 the Iranian leaders have seen themselves as the vanguard of Revolutionary Islam. All their moves are calculated specifically to dominate the Gulf and the Middle East. They are exploiting differences of attitude between the Muslim world and the "West" in lieu of this. With the holocaust cartoons, they aren't just exploiting a loop-hole in the sanctamonious idea of freedom of speech, but are attempting to place themselves as the mouth-piece of Muslim incredulity. Whatever you might think of the moral reprehensibility of their actions, politically it is well calculated.
