As Gibbon displays in his book, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, conspiracies are the core of the secret history of the world. If we recall the "October Surprise" (http://en.wikipedia.org/...)of the Nixon/Humphrey, Nixon/McGovern and Reagan/Carter elections, one can see the faint outline of what has just happened in Libya and Egypt. Add to this the manufactured scandals of the Acorn organization and breakin at the offices of Senator Landrieu by conservative black bag operative O'Keefe (http://en.wikipedia.org/...). Now mix in a few million dollars of the right wing fanatic Koch brothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/...) and you have an international event based on a little-known film reportedly produced by Israeli-American Sam Bacile. It is allegedly backed by a handful of ultraconservative Egyptian Christians and Florida Pastor Terry Jones, the controversial preacher whose threats to burn the Quran in 2010 sparked deadly riots in Afghanistan (see Wall Street Journal on this: http://www.marketwatch.com/...). However, a report from the Jerusalem Journal formerly (Jewish Telegraphic Agency or JTA) quotes sources that know Bacile as a militant California Christian (http://blogs.jta.org/...).
So the story gets strange, yet seems to have a familiar aroma. It seems that this was a manufactured and not spontaneous attack, just as the availability of the film was directed to be seen and to incite on 9/11 can hardly be an accident.
The coincident events surrounding Netanyahu's visit to Washington and his continued war drum over Iran come at a time when he has lost his supermajority in the Knesset, more economic problems have developed and the housing shortage is causing increasing protests, as well as the problem with the religious right over both settlements and service in the military and finally scandals over treatment of immigrants (http://www.haaretz.com/...). Netanyahu desperately needs some international event to distract Israelis from the avalanche of bad news associated with this regime, Palestinian attacks are not good enough and fail to gain him the support he needs, so drumming for war with Iran is his only hope. We must hope this fails.
