Want frightening? I'll give you frightening!

This is enough to turn your hair white, or make it fall out (I've opted for the latter category). James Lews, a blogger with the American Thinker magazine, has postulated on the fact that the Syrians, just four months after Israel took out a suspected nuclear facility, are rebuilding the facility in the exact same place: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/is_ahmadinejad_setting_a_trap_1.html.

His theory is that the Iranians through their Syrian proxies, and with the connivance of the Russians, are daring Israel to attack again, with the intention of drawing Israel into a protracted conflict, one which (given its relatively limited resources) it cannot hope to sustain over the long-term. Even more ominously, the Russians are engaging in war games in the area, and it is a fairly safe assumption that it wouldn't take much to get them directly involved. Of course, if THAT happened, the United States, even given the Bush 43 Administration's mixed signals on the subect of Israel, would have to get involved as well. Once that happens, just watch as all hell breaks loose.
