What kind of war would it be?

The Egyptians have blown the whistle: the Israeli and US navies are operating in the Persian Gulf. The only plausible reason is to prepare for commando landings, as the Egyptians have correctly figured out. Special troops will deactivate Iranian air defenses and clear the way for an Israeli strike. IAF landing on American aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf is a very remote possibility.

If true, the attack would mark another touch of genius, following the one we saw in the Gaza war. Commando raids so deep into enemy territory, with such wide goals, have never been tried before, and it would astonishing if Israel could accomplish them.

Such an attack would further confirm the changing rules of warfare: just as conventional warfare has become unacceptably destructive, states follow the terrorists’ lead and turn to low-profile operations: assassinations, the CIA drone wars, and now Iran.

By now, an Israeli strike on Iran seems unavoidable. The government has accepted the possibility of Iran procuring nuclear weapons from North Korea, but assumes that ayatollahs with a couple of A-bombs won’t risk a confrontation with Israel, which has some 200 of them.

Considering the present state of affairs in the middle east,to do nothing will give time to evilness to get stronger.
But if you go for gold,do not do a Desert Storm for Political correctness,for this Mission was not accomplished.

Which in turn has left us with a Second costly mission or War, which only the Iraq”s peoples can resolve themselves,with the help of there partners of each different diversity,to form along lasting Coalition of partnership for the good of all peoples so Iraq.

Only then, will they be able to prosper and flourish again.

There has been enough of bloodshed and misery,inflicted on both sides, and only when you Leaders with the help of all the peoples of Iraq can offer each other reconciliation and forgiveness.
For this is the Pathway to goodness and everlasting peace in all areas of Iraq.

For we can say, we did try to help,but made so many mistakes on the way at great cost to ourselves,but History will be the Judge of past events.
