Iran
With Bush again warning the Iranians about their alleged support of Iraqi militias, the study saying the US is preparing for a massive military strike against Iran, and the arrest of seven Iranians in Baghdad yesterday, it certainly feels like the war drums are picking up there pace.
The problem is that this has happened before several times, only to settle back down into the background. I'm beginning to feel like the boy who cried wolf. Will this time be different? Will the escalation finally paint somebody into a corner and make war inevitable, at least in their minds?
I don't know. But given the consequences, it is certainly something to keep an eye on.
