The Sunday Talks had a bit of Doomsday Talk about the middle east;
wherein Likud and Hamas "make a deal" to increase tensions...just to keep the extremes "at the center" of middle east politics...
And amazingly, the American Talk Show Likudnics seem to agree with this!
The operative idea is apparently that Israel is going to attack Iran...concerning the nuclear bomb building that is supposedly going on there.
Now, ANY attack on Iran by Israel would surely make Bush's role in Iraq..."problematic."
Since the Shia are strongly under the influence of Iran...there would likely be an INSURGENCY ON STEROIDS if Israel should attack unilaterally...
And alas, unilateral action seems to be the "legacy" of Sharon going forward.
There was some hope that both the Likud and Hamas would "behave" and that the NEW CENTER would develop in Israel that was willing and able to move on a two state solution...and some West Bank pullouts... Let us ONLY hope!
BECAUSE THE "ISRAEL ATTACKS IRAN" SCENARIO IS JUST TO HORRIBLE TO EVEN CONTEMPLATE WITH DUBYA'S IRAQ ADVENTURE IN SUCH DIRE CONDITION!
Seperately, the notion of Sharon becoming the next "Terry Shiavo" And..."living" on in a "brain damaged" condition is a horrible end for this man... Hopefully, someone in the family will have the good sense to just pull the plug...and allow Sharon to exit on a high note...
