Interesting Joe. No, I rather hope that the IDF uses this casus belli to target the Iranian oil refineries, sink the annoying Iranian spy ship and most importantly, eradicate their nuclear capability. It probably won’t happen, but a guy can dream, can’t he.

I agree with all you say except imputing Bibi's seemingly poor reasoning to stupidity. I fear that it instead reflects a Machiavellian calculation about what is in Bibi's interest.

You may be right--but, in my experience, Bibi's "stupidity" was that he always thought he was 20 IQ points smarter than everyone else.

Once again you are the voice of sanity and sound thinking. I’m enjoying “Achilles Trap” a great deal also.

You have more inside knowledge. I certainly hope he's reached the end. I blame him for much of what's wrong with Israel today.
