#1 It's good that God watches over this country, because otherwise we wouldn't stand a chance.

Amen to that.

#2 If it were to come to war, Israel should impose, as part of the resultant peace settlement, that all "Palestinians" on the West Bank be relocated to Syria and become Syrian citizens opening the West Bank to Israeli settlement and development. Oh, and force Egypt to take Gaza.

#3 Nah, in case of East-border war push all Paleos out of Gaza, too. And take over the entire Sinai if Egypt doesn't welcome and host their Paleo "brothers".

#4 Israel should get together with Kurds and other minorities in Syria so that someone can take charge after the war. The war should not end until the current regime is gone and that should be made clear to Assad.

#5 Russia's been embarrassed before about the way the Syrian military, armed with Russian weapons, crumpled in the face of the IDF.

#6 And of course the meeting between Saudi Arabia and Iran has no bearing whatsoever on Syria's actions on the border, because Saudi Arabia is "irritiated" with Syria, right? Saudi Arabia is trying to convince Iran to tamper down on Hezbollah to cool off the region-isn't that what we're expected to believe? Phooey. Saudi Arabia and Russia, each in their own way, are starting to put the pressure on.

#7 #5 - any way we can blame that on the Russian weapons (rather than Arab cowardice)? :-D
