Am I the only one who sees this coming???

I'm going to go out on a limb and say what surely others must also be seeing: the invasion of Gaza is glaringly obvious as a sham. The whole point of the invasion is only marginally about rockets and Hamas and Israel's security.

Israel is calling everyone's bluff, not because they think everyone is bluffing, but because they want the game to move ahead. They have begun World War III.

They're tired of posturing and chest-beating. They need an excuse to attack proto-nuclear Iran, and this is the most plausible. They know that there's a whole host of nations who will be unable to avoid getting involved as it spirals out of control, and they're OK with that.

And there are so many countries who are equally well waiting for an excuse to start dogpiling each other. This is going to be like a barroom brawl on a colossal scale. It's going to make both WWI and WWII look like wii.
