Danish offensive cartoons a USA psyop?

Have you been thinking that the furore over the Danish cartoons of Muhammed stinks like a US psyop? Yeah, me too, and so has Russian Liberal Democrats leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky:

"A top Russian parliamentary leader has told Ekho Moskvy radio station that an attack on Iran is inevitable and that it will occur on March 28th. The leader of the Liberal Democrats Vladimir Zhirinovsky also believes that the Muslim riots were orchestrated by the US to garner European backing for the military strike ..

"Zhirinovsky told the Russian radio station that, 'The war is inevitable because the Americans want this war. Any country claiming a leading position in the world will need to wage wars. Otherwise it will simply not be able to retain its leading position.'

"'The date for the strike is already known -- it is the election day in Israel (March 28). It is also known how much that war will cost,' said Zhirinovsky.

"Commenting on the Muslim riots sweeping the Middle East and Europe, Zhirinovsky said that the publication of the offensive cartoons was a planned psyop on the part of the US and aimed to 'provoke a row between Europe and the Islamic world'."
