09-16-06 - Pressures mount on Bush to bomb Iran ** President George W Bush is coming under enormous pressure from Israel - and from Israel's neoconservative friends inside and outside the US administration - to harden still further his stance toward Iran....Another cause of anxiety for Israel's right wing - the settler movement, the nationalist-religious parties, the Likud and the right-dominated Kadima - is that Israel is coming under increasing international pressure to negotiate with the Palestinians, with a view to the creation of a Palestinian state. Influential voices are calling for an international conference - a sort of Madrid II - to re-launch the peace process. The above excerpt is of particular concern. I would be wary of any attacks that might be blamed on Iran to set up a pretext to attack Iran. Whenever there is pressure on Israel to negotiate, there are suddenly terror attacks. This is based on the timing of bombings in the past three years, which seem to occur just before peace conferences between Israel and the Palestinians.
