Israel and al Aqsa....

I read on al Jazeera that Israel is undertaking repairs to the al Aqsa mosque complex and this is causing consternation among the Muslim community. The al Jazeera story is a statement from Hassan Nasr Allah, the Lebanese head of Hizb Allah.

Naturally, there is considerable saber rattling.

However, the King of Jordan has spoken in somewhat calmer terms that still carry much warning.

Conclusion? If the Israelis botch this repair and the domed mosque collapses, I don't think anyone or anything will spare Israel from considerable backlash. A backlash it will have brought upon itself.

For comic relief on this topic see the freakies. I see Mr. Bush's "foreign policy experts" have been mistaken again.
