Will they current conflict of Israel against Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Iran escalate into the World War III? Israel is driving back Hezbollah in the Beirut Suburbs, after taking out the Major Highway into Beirut, Beirut International Airport and 2 other smaller airports, while simultaneously blockading their ports.

Will Syria and Iran jump in and send missile swarms into Israel? Will Israel fire back, as they have 200-nukes and missiles, aircraft and submarines able to deliver them? Iran with 88 cities worthy of a full-scale attack if this happens; that is to say if Israel is pushed with a swarming incoming missile attack from the Arab world.

Many do support Israel to use a Carl von Clauswitz stance and to act in their sole best interest and military advisors see this as a possibility. If it were my country, I would go first to insure that my country survived. That is not a radical idea, in fact it maybe very prudent actually. Iran is threatening and soon will be completely involved.

Interesting indeed. And all this appears to be on the timeline expected by our Pentagon. I hope the USA keeps a cool head and acts decisively if necessary, without cockiness or remorse. Just get it done, if it goes that far. Will this signal an ushering in of World War III? Could be, stay tuned and consider all this in 2006.
