Welcome to the new Cold War

This week will be remembered.

Palestine splits into two hostile governments, surrounding Israel.

The US and EU support Fatah in the West Bank. Full funding and weapons.

Russia and Iran announce their support for Hamas in Gaza. Full funding and weapons.

Bush is doing his best to piss off Russia, and succeeding.

Ahmedinejad is doing his best to piss off the US, and succeeding.

Anything Israel does will do nothing but fan the flames.

This cannot end well.

P.S. For extra credit, count the number of ways the "War on Terror" has led to this point. If Osama later wants to take credit for this new war, he'll have to share the honor with GWB. And he'll be happy to.
