Middle East ball game

Israel is officially blaming Syria for the suicide bombing that occurred in Tel Aviv on Friday, killing five.

The U.S. ambassador to Syria was already recalled after the attack that killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Iran soon thereafter vowed it would back Syria if the U.S. showed any plans to take on Syria.

Last Sunday Vice President Dick Cheney mused that when “you look around the world at potential trouble spots, Iran is right at the top of the list.” He then added that Israel “might well decide to act first” on taking out Iran.

So here’s the ball game: Syria supposedly attacked Lebanon and now Israel. Meanwhile Iran is developing nuclear arms and officially backs Syria. VP Cheney said if Israel wants to take out Iran, he’s all for it.

Time to get nervous.
