Is there something going on again?

In the last few days Iran announced the activation of a second set of centrifuges.

Israel announced a new post, Minister for Strategic Threats, for Avigdor Liebermann, a right-winger.

Today Saudi Arabia asked the coalition forces to come to its aid to defend against sea-based attack on its oil terminals in the Gulf.

Yesterday and Monday UN Security Council meetings taking place to agree sanctions on Iran with US/UK/French proposal opposed by Russia and China.

I saw something about Syria stepping up their military "readiness". Things could happen in that region anytime.

It's just coming up to election time in the U.S. and the Republicans need more ammo for their fear mongering.

Oh jaim, you're so smart! What would we do without you to enlighten us about this stuff?
Will you tell us the story about how the Repub's staged the whole twin tower thing? We all love that one.
