Watch and Be Ready

We're getting closer to Iran's "Day of Happiness" on August 22. I have discussed the significance of that date on this blog for several weeks, and now it is upon us. And what's more, many people around the world (including prominent experts and news organizations) are seeing this Tuesday as the possible starting point for WWIII. Hopefully, it will amount to something far less dramatic and I will be proved wrong. For once, I would welcome looking like a fool.

However, the evidence is pointing to something big on the horizon, something that will change the way in which we view the world. Let's look at some of the hard facts:

• Iran is currently engaging in large military exercises. In the past, military "excersises" have been used as cover for war preparations.
• North Korea is preparing for a possible missile launch, and/or a nuclear test. Iran and North Korea have been working on nuclear technology and missiles for years.
• Israel's military has been weakened by the recent struggle with Hezbollah (backed by Iran). Israel is typically seen as a natural military check to any Iranian agression in the region.

There are a lot of things in place that are very favorable to Iran doing something very stupid. I'll post more tomorrow as I get additional information.
