With everyone’s attention focused on the aftermath of hurricane Sandy, some may have forgotten that the Middle East is the proverbial powder keg, just waiting for an Archduke and a lit match, not necessarily in that order. Moments ago, Israel’s military reminded us of just that when it reported that 3 Syrian tanks have entered the Golan Heights DMZ. Because it appears that the absolutely deranged and insane (or at least that’s how it will be portrayed) Syrian regime is not satisfied with provoking the humanistic Western media with “offensive” measures taken against both Turkey and Lebanon, it now has decided to enter the lion’s mouth, and is begging, just begging, for a UN-endorsed retaliation. How soon until Syria floats a submarine into New York harbor where it explodes but only after leaving a convenient note saying “Death to the Infidels, Love Syria.” Or something just as realistic.
