Is it just me, or is the US's international behavior increasingly insane?

So we arrest 8 people who are essentially Iranian power company representatives. We posture and bluster and all that. Why?

Are we making a point in the world, other than "The US is crazy. Don't cross 'em"?

The Neo-Cons want to start a war with Iran. They don't want Iran cooperating with the IAEA because that destroys their justification for invasion, which is why they've been accusing Iran of arming Iraqis, blah, blah, blah..

It doesn't matter how insane such an idea is, or how bad it would be for both our country and theirs. That's why they're also trying to float the idea of bringing back the military draft.
