Sign of the Times: I know I shouldn't be too surprised about violence breaking out in the Middle East. And this bombing in Iran was small for the region -- only nine people died.

But Iran is blaming Iraqi Baathists. While that doesn't mean much now, it still makes me nervous. I'm hoping that means Iran will offer some intelligence expertise to help hunt down the Iraqi insurgents and terrorists. But I'm afraid that Iran may eventually want to get involved militarily in Iraq.

Such action isn't imminent. But if the violence in Iraq isn't quelled and it starts spilling into neighboring countries, things may heat up between these nations again.
