War is a horrible thing. Just ask anyone that has ever been in the
middle of it. And in this day and age governments around the world
possess weapons of such incalculable power that war should be
unthinkable. In future wars, we could literally see millions of people
killed on a single day. Nobody should want that or
look forward to that. Unfortunately, the next major regional war in the
Middle East appears to be closer than ever. But nobody should want it
to actually happen. During the next major regional war in the Middle
East we will likely see death on a scale that is unprecedented. It
won't be like the wars of 1967 or 1973. It will likely be a fight to
the death where nothing is held back. You see, the truth is that most
Americans have no idea what is really going on in the Middle East. There are ancient grudges and ancient hatreds that go back for thousands
of years. There is no "peace plan" that is going to suddenly make
everything okay. The Middle East is a simmering volcano of hate and
resentment that could erupt at any moment. That is why what is
happening in Syria right now is so important. An Israeli airstrike in
Damascus that reportedly was attempting to destroy a shipment of
Fateh-110 missiles that Iran was sending to Hezbollah has brought Israel
and Syria to the brink of war. In fact, Syria is calling the airstrike
a "declaration of war" and is vowing retaliation. The Syrian government is saying that "Israeli aggression opens the door to all possibilities",
but they have not provided any specifics about what they plan to do. Meanwhile, Israel has made it very clear that they will do whatever is
necessary to keep Fateh-110 missiles from getting into the hands of
Hezbollah. With those missiles, Iranian-backed Hezbollah would have the
capability of striking the heart of Tel Aviv with a very high degree of
accuracy. So it is definitely understandable why Israel would not want
Hezbollah to have those missiles. Just think about it - would you want
Russia or China to deploy highly advanced missile systems in northern
Mexico which could rain down hell on Los Angeles and Dallas in less than
five minutes? Unfortunately, this gives Iran the perfect way to
provoke a war between Israel and Syria. All they have to do is keep
rolling trucks loaded with Fateh-110 missiles through war-torn Syria
toward Hezbollah bases in Lebanon. Israel will feel forced to
intervene, and the rest of the Islamic world will get angrier and
angrier.
