I've always suspected that the invasion of Iraq was about protecting Israel's security, not our own. The blueprint for the invasion of Iraq was public information way back in 1996, and it talked about neutralizing Syria and Iran with a permanent U.S. Military force in Iraq. The goal of course, was to give Israel a free hand in getting rid of it's "Palestine Problem" and expand it borders into Lebanon, Jordan, Sinai, Syria and Iraq.

With President Bush besiged by negative public opinion and U.S. Occupation force on the defensive from a growing Iraqi Insurgency, the first phase of the blueprint was acknowledged as a total failure.  Desperate times call for desperate measures as they say. 

So it seems awfully suspicious that Israel would respond to a simple POW exchange with retaliation against unarmed civilians. And use it to incite a full blown war with Lebanon to provoke Syria or Iran to intervene. With certified right-wing nuts running around calling for "World War III", and the Bush Administration's reputation for lying about anything remotely connected to Mideast, it's not that crazy to believe this is the next step in the conspiracy to incite the world to war.   

It seems I'm not the only one who is suspicious. It's all too convenient.
