2. American Fundies love Middle East wars. It means, in their minds, that the book of "Revelation" is being fulfilled. With

their "help" of course.

6. Watching live reporting from Al Jazeera.

Suspicion expressed on Al Jazeera is that Israel is taunting Iran to retaliate in a big way, so the US gets irrevocably involved.

Is Israel becoming a rogue state?

How will the US (ie Trump) respond?

8. Becoming? /nt

10. Well said.

Israel has always been a client state of the US. But has always had a rogue nature.

Considering how deep they are lobbying in the U.S., we are in a tail wagging the dog situation.

11. At the risk...

Of sounding like an idiot, how do we know this won't be a quick weekend thing like last summer?

12. The 12 Day War killed a lot of people and was only a "quick" thing to those watching outside of theatre. Nevertheless, I

do hope it is not a long conflict.
