It may seem that way, but Israel is often throwing tantrums. As soon as Israel was created it was at war (Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948), then at war with Egypt in 1954, again in 1967, between 1968 and 1972 pretty much continuous war with Syria and Egypt, as well as numerous Palestinian terrorists in the 70's. War was again declared by Egypt and Syria in 1973, restoring things to how they were in 1967.
Israel bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 to stop Iraq's nuclear program. Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 (apparently to defend against terrorists), however Israeli troops captured the capital Beirut, but partially withdrew in 1986 and completely in 2000.
However, with the situation in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, and a general anti-american and anti-western sentiment in the middle east, this may be an escalation in what will become the inevitable meltdown in the already incredibly stressed region.

Let me inform you. The price of oil is going to skyrocket not because of war but because the oil companies will see this as open season. We have our own oil here in the US to take care of us at a reasonable cost. The price of electronics is going to rise as well because most electronics are made over there in Asia. With this North Korean thing, be informed, my dear. Start watching the news. I suggest Fox News and CNN. You can get both sides of the equation and make your own decision.

properly cutting-area headlines were that Iranian's are alleging that the video and audio of that so called incident became pretend and fabricated by technique of US; which does no longer marvel me in any respect. we may be able to have a nuclear warfare if and on condition that human beings pick Giuliani because the president. As they say, he's Bush on steroids...this guy can't be keen about white living house what so ever! if he receives into the white living house as a president or a vp, sure better than in all probability you'll see a nuclear warfare. If human beings imagine that Bush remoted US from relax of the international, purely imagine what Bush did and multiply it by technique of one hundred if Giuliani receives into the workplace. all of us be begging to stay in a 0.33 international usa like Sudan quite than stay in a rustic the position Giuliani makes a range for the entire usa.

It is a shame, but it seems that the problems in the middle east seem to be never ending and possibly unsolvable.
However I think that the situation will seem minor with what might come in the future.
I can honestly foresee something bad happening between the USA and China...

This could be a world wide crisis. If oil prices go up then food prices will also along with every thing else. Who knows, maybe this is the end of the world as we know it....

yes, it's heading toward armageddon, world war 3. and gas prices may soar to $5 a gallon or more. and we will just have to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, just like we tell poor blacks to do.

I'm all for peace but it has failed, we have tried to understand the senates, the people and the terrorists, in most cases we are met with hate.
Fact is they dont hate our religion, they just hate us, westerns. Nothing will change it theyr just gunna keep killing us
Id prepare for war if you want to live.
