Backdoor to Iran?

Well, Israel is in the news again! This time, in a tiff with the Hezbollah. Israel has been fighting wars for so long that it doesn't even phase me anymore. Granted, being surrounded by 5 or so Arabic states hell-bent on Israel's destruction will illicit that response. I don't know the whole history of the region. I should really read up on that and reserve my interpretations till later. But hey! We've all pretended to know things we really didn't one time or other!

In short, here's the latest tiff-starter: Palestine kidnaps couple of Israeli officers and demands that Israel release some prisoners. Israel refuses and basically says "F@#k you guys! We are not releasing the prisoners. You give our officers back before we bomb the crap out of you.....again!" Guess what happened? Israel bombs the crap out of Palestinian gourds....again! Well, few days later Hezbollah follows in the footsteps of Palestine. Now Israel is bombing Palestine and Hezbollah strong holds.

Now, Hezbollah is said to have backing of Iran (not to mention Lebanon). Tony Blair is reportedly pressuring our cowboy president, good ole G.W., into sending our illustrious Sec. State Rice for Shuttle diplomacy (See post titled "Shuttle Diplomacy" for more info on it). I'm thinking that we will end up invading Iran now. Our excuse will be "well, they are supporting Hezbollah which is attacking Israel and we don't like our friends attacked by a bunch of terrorists!" And there, folks, will be our justification for going into Iran. It won't be failed Nuclear talks. It will be something bold, chivalrous, and noble! After all, defnding friends against their enemies is bold, chivalrous, and noble! We will not only invade Iran, we will also destroy their infrastrucutre, and be attacked by insurgents. Wait, this all sounds eerily familiar! Don't get me wrong, I support our tropps over there whole heartedly. I just don't agree with the reasons the administration gave before seding off those brave souls to fight.

Let us hope that we only do the negotiations and the fighting will subside.
