Is Iran's President Ahmadinejad serious or playing to a crowd? While that answer may elude the world at present, his extremely inflammatory rhetoric continues and Israel remains under fire from multiple directions. On Thursday at a rally in Isfahan, the extremely controversial leader promised that "the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will uproot the Zionist regime" if Israel again attacks Lebanon. Lebanon, of course, is currently engaged in a rather large-scale fight against Islamic militants who have taken control of a refugee camp in the northern part of that country. The fighting has claimed dozens of lives and while the government has offered some degree of clemency to the militants if they surrender, the Islamic faction has declared that it will not give up. To further complicate the situation, the Israeli government also must decide how it will deal with Hamas in Gaza. Rocket fire from that area killed an Israeli man just recently, prompting the embattled Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, to authorize more armed reprisals against Hamas.

Israel, as it has always been
Israel is always going to be in peril.
Iran, they say, might be attacked by the US,
and knowing this, and with a US military boot
on either side in Afghanistan and Iraq,
Iran just keeps daring and double daring the west,
seizing British sailors on the high seas,
and foreign citizens out of British offices,
while calling for the complete destruction of Israel
even as they defy the world in enriching uranium,
and making threats and dire promises to the great satan US.
Iran might need the nationalism an attack might stir up.
Iran might well be irrational zealots, also.

It's just about time for Israel to start whooping up on these guys like they did circa 1967. How long are they gonna live like this?
