Israel - Syrian Situation, Checking Abilities?

I have been thinking lately about all the news and events that have been going on concerning Syria-Israel threatening war, and the November peace conference that the United States is preparing.

Israel lately carried out an air strike inside Syria, and until now non-Israeli official statement was said about it, except for what Binyamin Netanyahu said about his involvement in it since the beginning and the planning, but also said that everything will be clarified at its time. Some were talking about a nuclear project being held in the place Israel attacked, that the Syrians were establishing with the help of North Korea. Others said that weapons were hidden there and Israel had pictures captured of this area by satellites. Actually I do believe that nothing of these statements says the truth about what is going on. Syria said lately that Israel should forget about peace with it especially after what Israel did. Iran keeps on preparing itself with Rockets and threatening to destroy anyone who thinks of attacking its lands, they even talked about attacking the American forces in Iran and Iraq. Well what I think is that Israel wanted to check how Syria would react after attacking its lands and see if they are really prepared to face it. The Syrians are still in the middle of taking a decision about whether to face Israel and bring all the middle east to an opened violence state that could involve Lebanon, Iran, and even make it worse in Iraq, or to hold their breath and try not to start a war until they are really sure that they can win it. Syria said yesterday that they wont participate in the November peace conference even if the United States asks from it to participate…why? Because Iran should decide and Iran should be asked so they can have the permission to go to this conference. Another statement that Ihud Olmert said and really confused me, is what he said today when he met the Arab kenneset members about the November conference and that it wont be as serious as some people think and that it would be only a start for negotiations but not a final one that could really change from the roots. He also said that any bomb attack inside Israel could destroy everything. The reason for what he said was the strong objection and disagreement of Kadeemah party to talk about dividing Jerusalem for two capitals. Still the Israelis are not ready for this and he doesn’t want to risk by talking about it. Hussni Mubarak, the Egyptian president said that if this Conference wont succeed, then this time really all the middle east will go to war and violence and it would be difficult to stop it this time.

I really agree with what he said, and I add that the chances for this conference are really low, what we should think about is how bad it would be, if both the Israelis and the Palestinians didn’t reach the minimum that is needed to make the people return back again to believe in peace in this conference. And how would this be used by Syria and Iran as a support for them in fighting their enemies and becoming loved by the Arab people? If this conference doesn’t succeed, then you can be sure that things will become worse, and that’s why Bush and Condoleezza rice are doing their best to make sure that it will give what is needed to gain the support of the Arab countries and the Palestinians in order to start facing Syria and Iran. One other thing is don’t be surprised if we wake up on a day and you see on the television that Israel attacked Syria because the Americans and the Israelis wont give Syria a chance to become a direct threaten on Israel by bringing more dangerous weapons or making movements on the boarders…it’s a matter of time but cant be known if it is going to be a matter of days or months because it all depends on what is hidden under the table; the Syria- Iranian power to face any attack or even to attack and the Palestinian Israeli situation that could again become critical if it wont be solved or pushed towards peace.
