Tensions Increase
By Micah Halpern

I've Been Thinking:

The war of words is escalating.
I hear the sabers rattling.

Iran has been testing missiles.
The message is clear.
We can hit Israel and any other target in the region whether civilian or military.

Ehud Barak, Israel's defense minister, shot off a strong warning to Iran:
"Israel is the strongest country in the region, and it has proven in the past that it is not afraid to act when vital interests are threatened."

Both Israel and Iran have expressed a desire to resolve this issue diplomatically. Barak said it in the quoted above.
Ahmadinejad said it in Malaysia the other day and I quoted him then.

We have to monitor and analyze all the rhetoric.
I am listening attentively to the aggressive, arrogant rhetoric and just as attentively to the peaceful, diplomatic rhetoric.
They are all parts of the same puzzle.
Once I have more pieces, I will be better able to predict the verbal and non-verbal games of response and counter response.

So far, the the war is still being fought only with words.
