How far will this go?
Iran clearly intends to defy the International Atomic Energy Agency in developing nuclear weapons. There can be no other conclusion.
On Friday it was learned that Iran began transferring $50 billion out of European banks to protect it's foreign assets from possible (likely) U.N. sanctions.
In addition, the terrorist President of Iran met with Hamas and Islamic Jihad while visiting with the Syrians. You can bet that they were not swapping recipes for cajun gumbo; they were talking about destroying Israel. The meeting took place one day after a bombing killed 20 people in Israel; that attack was claimed by Islamic Jihad.
Fact: Iran doesn't need nuclear power to generate electricity. They want the weapons, pure and simple, and are telling the world to go screw itself. Their vast oil reserves are more than sufficient to meet their immediate needs; they have no need for nuclear power in the timetable that they're talking about. In fact, they have surplus energy already.
Israel is now hinting at military options to deal with the Iranians. And they won't be bluffing either.
Syria is also misbehaving, refusing to cooperate in the investigation that has implicated the top Syrian leadership in the killing of a former Lebanese prime minister. They've also publicly allied themselves to the Iranians, and have allowed Hamas and Islamic Jihad to operate out of their territory for years.
If these two countries are not careful, they may become the latest target for "regime change" and it won't just be the U.S. and Britain coming after them either.
This is going to get worse before it gets better.
