TEOTWAWKI Update
One by one the Gulf states are saying they don't want any part of war with Iran.
"As the US carries out massive military exercise in the Persian Gulf, the United Arab Emirates became the second Gulf state to declare it would not take part in any attack on Iran. Qatar—home to 6,500 US troops and the enormous al-Udeid Air Base, headquarters of the Pentagon's Central Command—said earlier it would not permit an attack on Iran from its soil. The Gulf Cooperation Council, consisting of Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Emirates, has called on all its members not to support any US action against Iran."
Israel rejected the Arab peace offer.
"This week, the nations of the Arab League revived a 2002 initiative offering Israel peace and acceptance as long as it withdraws to pre-1967 territorial boundaries, accepts an independent Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, and agrees to a solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war and their descendants"
Israel - "No."
The US is sending another aircraft carrier and battle fleet to the Gulf to (wink wink) 'replace' one already there.
"The Nimitz carrier strike group will sail from San Diego for the Gulf on Monday, a navy spokesman said, to replace the Dwight D Eisenhower, as tensions mount between Iran and the West over captured British troops and Iran’s nuclear programme."
NATO has moved in and is prowling off the Russian coast in the Arctic Ocean.
"Moscow, Mar 29 (Prensa Latina) Amid great secrecy, NATO naval forces are trying to control the Arctic Ocean to continue the military bloc's expansion to Russia, local media reported on Thursday."
We would never have even known they were there if it weren't for the explosion aboard the HMS Tireless on 3/21 which killed two submariners.
The US really wants anti missile system in central europe, says its because of those pesky salamifascists, Russia says they'll nuke them.
"The head of the Russian strategic missile forces even warned that Russia might train its missiles on Poland and the Czech Republic if they accept the US defense system."
U.S. steps up campaign against Syria.
"WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has launched a campaign to isolate and embarrass Syrian President Bashar Assad, using parliamentary elections in late April as a lever, according to State Department officials and Syrian exiles.
The campaign, which some officials fear is aimed at destabilizing Syria, has been in the works for months.
(...)
"It's the new Cuba - no language is too tough," said one of the officials, who like others insisted on anonymity to discuss internal government planning."
Russian media reports imminent US strike on Iran.
"Al-Arabiyya reported on its Web site on Thursday that the Bush administration is preparing to launch a military operation, dubbed "The Sting," to strike 20 Iranian nuclear plants, disabling Iran's atomic program for at least five to seven years."

I doubt Israel would reject such an offer of peace from the Aran nations if it couldn't depend upon the AIPAC and the US govt's military support.
