How many of you think Syria or Iran will become directly involved in the latest war breaking out with Israel and Lebanon, I've heard it was an Iranian missile that hit The Israeli war ship.
Will there be an all out regional war involving Syria , Iran or possibly other nations?

The London-based Arabic language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Saturday that "Washington has information according to which Israel gave Damascus 72 hours to stop Hizbullah’s activity along the Lebanon-Israel border and bring about the release the two kidnapped IDF soldiers or it would launch an offensive with disastrous consequences."
The report said "a senior Pentagon source warned that should the Arab world and international community fail in the efforts to convince Syria to pressure Hizbullah into releasing the soldiers and halt the current escalation Israel may attack targets in the country."
Al-Hayat quoted the source as saying that "the US cannot rule out the possibility of an Israeli strike in Syria," this despite the fact that the Bush administration has asked Israel to "refrain from any military activity that may result in civilian casualties."
In his words to the Lebanese Prime Minister about calling upon Israel to limit damage, one assumes Bush was just uttering platitudes. He's good at that. And if he expressed a hope that civilian casualties would be kept to a minimum, he would only have been stating what is obvious: that is exactly what the Israelis have been doing. And the targets they have selected are either in Hezbollah-held territory, or meant to lessen Hezbollah's ability to import and move weaponry around (those airports, those bridges) -- and also to pressure Hezbollah, seen correctly by the Christians, the Druse, and the Sunni Muslims as the source of the problem, to finally deal with Hezbollah as they should, collectively, have done long ago.
Anyone who sees the entire picture, whether sitting it Val di Colle d'Elsa, or in Paris, or in the offices of MI5 in London, or in Mumbai, or in Bangkok, and recognizes what is going on around the world, realizes or should realize that the Israelis are not to be chastised but rooted for, urged to keep going and not to stop. For what they are doing now to two of the entirely fungible, interchangeable Muslim terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah, is at least as important as what the Americans did to Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, or whatever tiny benefit has accrued to Infidels from the removal of Saddam Hussein. (No benefits have accrued to Infidels from that ongoing and expensive "Light-Unto-the-Muslim-Nations" business in Iraq).

It isn't looking good in that region. I'm sure that both Syria and Iran will become involved.
I kind of feel for the Lebanese right now as they are caught in the middle and getting bombed when their government has nothing to do with it. Their only mistake is not getting the Hezbollah out.
The Hezbollah doesn't seem interested in backing down, and it sucks because they aren't a country, but a group. Unfortunately, a lot of them are in Lebanon and they are feeling the brunt of Israel fighting back. I am sure it will spread to Syria and Iran eventually.
I think it's going to get real ugly.

War is such a nasty thing but the dumb generals in Tel Aviv and Washington are ready to sacrifice many people for their dirty goals.
The truth is that today everyone can build rockets even in small workshops. Therefore there is no more save heaven.
Israel is in the range of missiles like never before and they can not afford a war with Iran and Syria.

This conflict has the potential to be much more complicated than even the US in Iraq situation. Syria, Iraq, and Egypt have all fought Israel before. Israel is a nuclear power and an ally of ours. The US has alot at stake in the region and an interest in the region staying stable. It could become very scary.

Like bowling pins
Syria next
Iran after that
That is if Iran has enough nuts to step out from behind Hezbollah.
I guarantee that once Hezbollah is done Iran says........." Hey who's Hezbollah,never heard of them.
Ohhhhh those guys we were giving missiles to."
