There will be war with Syria and Iran.

It would have to be started by Israel or the US, because right now neither of those countries probably feels that safe between US forces in the region and Israel - they no longer have the Soviets behind them, and even though they have received equipment from Russia, France, etc., much of it is outdated (not to mention the Syrians lost most of their air cover during the 1980s when the Israeli pilots shot down literally dozens and dozens of Syrian aircraft for no losses of their own).

The thing that bothers me about Lebanon, is that the US is trying to put pressure on Israel - that really bothers me - makes me feel like we are hypocrites (as I said in another thread, if rebels started firing 100+ rockets a day into the US from Mexico, there is no way we'd let any other country try and pressure us to end it within a specified time period.

*We* would if our commander in chief was a democrat. Every single one of them would bend an ear to that pressure.
