This is escalating quick. It could turn into WWIII easily if Iran and Syria get in, China chooses sides, and India and Pakistan decide this is in their regional interests.

We are pretty safe here, but the whole middle east could go. Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia are prime for jihadist revolutions. As much as I cheer Israel for defending themselves, we have our own interests, such as the free flow of oil to consider. We need to make sure that the Gulf is clear, and the regimes in Egypt, S.A. and most importantly nuclear weaponed owning Pakistan are stable through this crisis.

How many hours do we have left of real news? They will be cutting to Aruba - kidnap stories and murder stories soon. THE NEWS WILL GO OFF SHORTLY. I hate the American News Media.

You assume that both parties are rational in their thought. Wrong.

In the Cuban missile crisis, you were dealing with parties a Christian background (Russian Orthodox and Catholic no matter what communist dogma said.) Plus, communist or capitalistic all parties involved loved their countries and children and realized that in going to that extreme, no one wins. No net positive result to going nuclear.

In Iran, you are dealing with a nutjob who is trying to bring about Armageddon. Now I am not particularly religious, but I can recognize religious zeal in others and I know the powers in Iran are serious and mean that they say.

NEVER assume the other party is rational, especially, when they talk and act crazy.

Quit with the joking, you're cracking me up.

Well, Syria has a mutual defense pact with Iran specifically designed against an Israeli attack. So if this happens (which I think is unlikely), expect a Regional war with the USA involved.

And I have absolutely no idea what Iraq will do.

Thanks this is really interesting, like a blind man watching a football game and telling us on radio what is happening on the field, he can't see.

"When did Iranians arrive in Lebanon?


They have been there for many, many months
though you won't know this
if you get your news from the MSM."

I've been flipping through the channels, so I can't recall who said it....NBC, I think...But, the reported that the Iranians have been flying 747's into Lebanon on a regular basis full of munitions and supplies for some time. That's why the Beirut airport went bye-bye first, to make sure there was no resupply possible.

Gosh Andrea... thanks for clarifying that. She's a piece of work, huh?

I'm looking for any source beyond two on-air reporters who may have heard a comment from the same source. Normally, when you get a major advance in a story like this it comes from multiple directions. What we're seeing so far is a whole of reporting, but it's all traceable to the same few sources.

The story is certainly possible, it's even likely, but I'd like to see some solid and separate sourcing before I start running in the street yelling "Quick! Nuke Tehran!".

I'm not asking you about the missile. I'm asking you if you believe the Iranian Guard is on the ground in southern Lebanon assisting Hizbullah? Or do you think the Iranian Guard is not on the ground in southern Lebanon?

Great pic and great tagline. Stupidly, I klearned my lesson too late and prior posts will keep me from seeking public office. I am waaaaaay too far to the right to be electable.

If it turns regional, we have 130,000 troops in Iraq who will be in the middle of it, instantly.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered more intense strikes on Lebanon on Friday, ratcheting up retaliation against Hizbollah guerrillas following the capture of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid.
