The Unlikely Optimist
The Islamic world is currently self-destructing through internecine conflict pretty much everywhere. Iran managed to hold back the greens last time, but after the “Arab Spring” how much longer can they hold on?
Remember the Iran/Iraq war? The US flowed arms to which ever side was losing at the time and managed to keep our two worst opponents in the region busy destroying their military capabilities for eight years!
Whether intended or not, Obama’s “isolationism” seems to be having a similar effect.
In contradistinction to the “woe is us” media stories, I’m quite happy with whats happening both in Egypt and in Syria.
I hope the Iranians become even more deeply involved in Syria. It’s a “tar baby” special that will bleed them of men and resources until they finally are forced to leave, either because of defeat there or a collapse of the regime in Teheran.

In the short and middle run, the actual situation is good for Israel: Syria is falling apart – who would believe that?, Iran entering in Syria is deeper and deeper – no exit points remaining, Egypt is in turmoil; but one should ask himself, Gee, what is really going on here? Who is the dark hand who is acting from shadows and is orchestrating all this big move and in what purpose ? What is the final goal of this big islamic-jihadist movement which is sunni in essence ? What do they really want to achieve? We think we all know the answers to those questions and we are talking about the long run events. In the long run, Israel will face a conmmon sunni-jihad front in the west – Egypt and more- and in the east, north which is Syria, Jordan. But that day is not today. We will be prepared for that; it will be a long and hard fight.”Fight hard” – that what Israel is all about.
