Well, not tomorrow, but sometime in the near-to-medium future.
Anyone who sits down and looks at the mess that Hamas has made of Gaza would say the same thing. There is just no way that Israeli public opinion will allow Gaza to continue shooting rockets at Israeli civilians. The more those rockets kill, the closer Israel gets to yet another invasion of Gaza.
Why hasn’t the Israeli army invaded before now?
Because the Israeli army doesn’t actually enjoy going to war.

They started out as a group formed to directly oppose Israel in Lebanon. They called themselves Hizb’Allah, or Party of God. We called them Hezbollah, and they were celebrated as freedom fighters. When people pointed out their Qods Force/Iranian roots, we looked uncomfortable and changed the subject.
Which is too bad, because now they have arrived at our back door and started to weave their way into the narco terrorist and narco trafficking networks in Central and South America. The question in everyone’s mind now is how far they’ve penetrated into the United States.

Barry Rubin has just produced a startlingly good piece, which he begins:
There’s a saying that goes something like this: When things are bad, a Jew cries. When they get even worse, a Jew cries more. And when they even get worse, a Jew laughs. As indelicate as this may seem, the current situation makes me want to laugh.
I’m not sure that I could have said it better. Actually, I’m not sure that I could have said it at all, being that I’m not Jewish myself. My own thieving Scottish ancestors weren’t nearly as educated, long suffering or even erudite. (Of course, Clan Little was writ large in the annals of history as some of the best light cavalry in Europe – which is what happens when you make a habit of stealing horses.)

Helping people see what is real is a long, exhausting (and frustrating) process. Reality is such a harsh environment to live in, most of us would rather spend time with the alternative. I mean, who wouldn’t want to live a place where the sky is always blue and everyone is just so… nice.
However, spending too much time in a fantasy world can kill you. Living lives of fantasy killed the US economy. Clinging to the fantasy that Hitler wasn’t such a bad guy killed six million Jews. The fantasy of a world without God killed even more via communism.

It’s almost as if Iran has been reading Hitler. Which makes sense, since Hitler’s Mein Kampf has been a best seller in book stores all over the Muslim world.
It shouldn’t surprise us then, that Iran has penetrated deep into South America and moved up into Mexico. Iran has strong ties with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, to the point that Venezuela has agreed to Iran building missile sites in their country.
So, why am I talking about Hezbollah?
