Some believe Iran is on deck, given Israel's recent prisoner swap which set the teams for the next conflagration.
“When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing.”Dwight David Eisenhower quotes
Bush had Iraq, Obama's got Libya. Reds and Blues like war, selling it as the preventive kind (WMD, massacre of the people).
“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”
Rather than get out of the way, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu may be looking for his inner Churchill. Israel at least faces interim bomb attacks, albeit not from a mighty power.
Bibi's Churchill stance would drag Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama into any conflict. That is if Obama isn't seeking his Churchill, as America doesn't normally change presidents mid war. Coincidentally, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton trotted out that Iran is morphing into a military dictatorship.
Two evil dictators, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi down, one rising military dictatorship to go. Nobody spins a narrative like the Western greed and power boys, and now girls.
Update 10-30-11: President Obama will build troop levels in the Persian Gulf, according to NYT.
