The Coming War

War is coming. Perhaps in the next month. Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak says Israel won't tolerate a nuclear Iran. In return, Iran won't tolerate Israel's having a nuclear monopoly in the mideast. War, it seems to me, is therefore all but inevitable. One of these days, probably sooner rather than later, Israel will simply attack Iran's nuclear processing facilities. Iran will respond by hurling missiles at Tel Aviv, and also at our bases in Iraq. The US will join in big time. The middle-east will explode and there will go the dollar and any hope I might have of a happy old age.
