It's the start of the World War Three as we know it
Armageddon and its countdown has begun declares the main-stream media as Hezbollah kidnaps two Israeli soldiers in cross-border raid then Israel responds by sending in tanks and bombing the bridges and roads in Lebanon in the south to try to prevent the hostages from being taken to the north, behind the scene some are calling this the marked act of an Iran-Iraq-Syria-Saudi-Hezbollah-Hamas bloc against the Israeli alliance which is made up of the hawks within the Coalition led by the United States and the doves within the Union led by the United Nations, the battlelines now have gone westward from the desertsands of the East starting with al-Qaeda's New York City 9-11 attack in 2001, the attempted Paris 11-9 tower bombing in 2002, the Madrid 3-11 train bombing in 2004, the London 7-7 subway blitz in 2005 and ending with a recent attempt in Toronto for 6-6-6 to blow-up the Canadian parliament and behead the Canadian prime minister this June which has taking the action right into the heartland of the West.
A friend of mine from the Mac campus who is both openly Muslim and Communist predicted in 2003 that World War Three would be fought between the Communist-like Muslim-friendly nations and the Capitalist-like Judeo-Christian-friendly nations, interestingly I asked him as the final theater would be in the Middle East where the final battleground would be in his own very humble opinion and he stated solidly that Jerusalem would be it as all three of us in Judaism, Christianity and Islam claim it to be our Holy City quite like how Abraham or Ibrahim as the founding patriarch of the Israelites whom God chose to bless out of all the families of the Earth has claim to Jews and Christians through his son Isaac while Muslims regard him as the father of the Arabs through his son Ishmael as written within the Tanakh, the Bible and the Qur'an but differ on who the offered son on the alter really was.
While the United States Coalition is quite firm in its very conservative strong convictions, the United Nations Union has always traditionally held somewhat liberal passive-aggressive traits which have now just become that much more interesting quite like how they generally use the term "Occupied Palestinian Territory" now yet back in 1947 their United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine or United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 used "Samaria and Judea" for its terminology of the old United Monarchy, which is the exact weak link the IISSHH Bloc use to this day to defeat those in the USC or Friends of Israel which is why the UNU has been able to under the inept leadership of Secretary-General Kofi Annan bring us right into this mess that we see on our front pages today even with the positive Liberal politics on his side being practised by "Road Map for Peace" softballers Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Kadima and Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah who take over from old hardballers Ariel Sharon and his Likud and Yasser Arafat and his Munazzamat al-Tahrir al-Filastiniyyah.
Personally I come from it remembering old film clips of the Canadian Brodcasting Corporation's Greatest Canadian, Baptist minister and McMaster alumnus Tommy C. Douglas urging his followers towards building the New Jerusalem here in this green and pleasant land of Canada paraphrasing the poetic lyrics of William Blake, we can all coexist and build our very own Jerusalem in peace as Israel did when it recently withdrew from Gaza in the north and the south of Lebanon without absolute force but as Israel is bordered to the north by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the West Bank in the east and Egypt and the Gaza Strip in the west and to the south by Mediterranean Gulf of Eilat-Aqaba, it would seem another Six-Day War of 1967 is just around the corner where Jordan's West Bank and Syria's Golan Heights, Egypt's Gaza Strip and Sinai will be re-captured again and another crossing of the Jordan River will spur up yet another holy war toward one final conquest of the land and the divine promise to it at the end of their final walk in the wilderness.
