Ahmadinejad's election points to war with Israel?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected to another term as President of Iran on Friday, but the Islamic Republic has been busy beating down an uprising from those who supported Ahmadinejad's opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi.

According to an AP report on Yahoo! News Ahmadinejad said that the violent uprising was, "not important from my point of view. Some believed they would win, and then they got angry. It has no legal credibility. It is like the passions after a football match. The margin between my votes and the others is too much and no one can question it."

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, today delivered a much anticipated speech in which according to The Jerusalem Post he called for "the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside Israel, but only if the Palestinians recognize Israel's nature as a Jewish state." The piece also points out that Netanyahu also "embraced President Barack Obama's vision, adding, however, that the Holocaust was not the reason for the establishment of the Jewish state."

Joel Rosenberg, author of Epicenter, commenting on the Iranian elections said on his blog, "The Supreme Leader of Iran has spoken. It’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by a 'landslide.' Now all eyes in the region shift to Israel, where Prime Minister Netanyahu will deliver a major policy address on Sunday. The battle lines are clear. It’s Netanyahu vs. Ahmadinejad….Bibi vs. Mahmoud. The big question is: Who will strike first?"

That question, however, has arguably already been answered as we have noted on this blog. The real question is who will make the next most decisive and aggressive strike?
