Does anyone see any parallels between the government of Iran and the leadership of BASSA? Faced with a challenge to it's existence the government blames external forces for fomenting trouble (namely the British) and BASSA blames external forces for fomenting trouble (namely the pilots). Not that I'm claiming BASSA are a self-serving, undemocratic theocracy who are primarily concerned with preserving the perks of a select few. I mean they're not religious at all!
