The Olmert government in Israel is expecting hostilities with Syria. If Syria invades Israel that should just about render the United Nations a bogus International body that enforces world peace. The United Nations only worth now is as an international food and training organization. Without any teeth the charitable portion may be defunct.
I digress.
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) is running training exercises in preparation of a long rumored Syrian invasion. Syria became emboldened by successful tactics that client terrorist organization Hezbollah used in Lebanon.
The global question that will be complicated: What will America and the EU do if such an invasion occurs? If Iran honors its mutual alliance agreement with Syria, will Iran join Syria in fracas? Again, if Iran joins with Syria, what will America and the EU nations do? For that matter, what will Russia and China do?
The whole scenario reminds me of how World War One began with the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo). Arab greed for Israel’s sliver of land and a Syrian invasion could spark another World War (WWIII or WWIV depending on who you read).
