    Default Syria

    I was justing watching the news (sorry no link) and it was said that Syria was seen, from the air, removing land mines from their boarder with leb. Do you think this conflict will escalate into another war involing Israel and Syria?

    If it's true, then we might see another Syria-Israel war, though I would seriously doubt it. They wouldn't risk another war.

    Syria because the military power Israel has, and Israel because it would avenge the whole Muslim world. And this could spell disaster.

    I don't think so. His most courageous and honourable imperial highness and friend of the people, president-for-life (and doctor) Assad, will be most distressed if his palace is violated. And be violated I mean bombed.

    But with rising domestic pressure… who knows? Du-da-da-dun…

    They already are / have, who do you think arms/ed Hezbollah?!

    But in terms of Syria actively declaring war on Israel, no way.

    Syria is going to game this for maximum advantage. I don't see how them becoming any more involved helps them. If anything, I imagine they'll do what they can to avoid getting entangled.

    I agree with JAG.

    Syria would have nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing so- I dont think Assad is that crazy.

    I think Syria won't get involved unless they get attacked first in which case Syria is gonna be opening up a serious can of whooping onto their attackers.

    If it happens like the 6 day war, then I would seriously doubt that.
    Of course, they would open the rage of the Muslims.....
