Could the Middle East Crisis Escalate to WW3?

A little over a year ago, this headline appeared in Israel Insider:

Report: Israel ready for pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear facility

At the time it was not thought much of and things got better for awhile with Iran. Now they have removed the seals from their nuclear facility and today we are back to where we were when this headline appeared.

The Israeli Air Force has completed military preparations for a pre-emptive strike at Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility and will attack if Russia supplies Iran with rods for enriching uranium, Israeli officials said, according to a report in the London Sunday Times. Military sources said the raid would be carried out by long-range F-15I jets, overflying Turkey, with simultaneous operations by commandos on the ground.

With the reports coming out almost daily of not only Iran's nuclear facilities, but more so their alleged supplying of supplies to the insurgents, you can almost be certain we will jump right into this fight. You can read the entire article here.

Now it is no secret that during the late 90's when Dick Cheney was head of Halliburton, he was opposing sanctions against Iran because his company was doing business with them. Al Jazeera magazine has reported today

Halliburton, the scandal-plagued oil company, that Vice President Dick Cheney used to run, sold an Iranian company key components for a nuclear reactor, Halliburton sources revealed.

Doesn't this all sound so familiar. Remember a couple years back when we were getting ready to invade Iraq and kept hearing about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Ironically, those same weapons we were going to fight Iraq over were ones we supplied them with.

Theres our very own Secretary of Defense shaking hands with Saddam in the 1980's.

So now these people that our leaders once called friends are now our enemies. The war on terror and the Iraq war powers are kind of a blanket for the President. If he feels the need he can easily move troops into Iran, especially if they are thought to be aiding our enemies in the Iraq war.

Also don't forget now we have our chief diplomat at the UN, Mr. yell and scream Bolton. You can bet on his cheery disposition adding to the growing tensions in the world. While there is no talk of the IAEA referring Iran to the Security Council yet, it is still an option. This story takes a new turn every day. Perhaps Bush is resting up in Texas for his next war, which would most likely lead to World War 3.
