Just as the dust hadn’t even settled on Manhattan on 9/11 before Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz pointed the finger of blame at Saddam Hussein as well as al Qaeda, so the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly points the finger of blame for today's suicide bombing in Bulgaria that killed seven Israeli tourists firmly at the Iranians. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak is blaming Hezbollah in Lebanon by accusing them of being Iran’s agents. Both are vowing a response though neither has specified what.
In the volatile environment that the Middle East is already in, it would not take too much for the Israelis, who have been itching for an excuse to get the final confrontation with their enemies off the ground, to use just such an attack against Israeli civilians as a casus belli for war.
See my earlier article to find out why Israel is so keen for war.
