HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS.. THEN PENDING BATTLE????

Before I comment on a topic I have long contemplated, yet never commented about, I want to cover a very quick but very important issue on the crisis with North Korea.

I will reiterated what I spoke of last week, given the events are no even more dangerous than they were just a few days ago.

As I sat to listen to all the "talking heads" today  virtually foaming at the mouth over North Korea, I couldn't help but think how dangerous of a message we, the West, seemed to be sending.

When you tell a despot, paranoid Dictator you "don't believe him", what results are you looking for?

Are all of our so called experts saying this because they believe North Korea is not serious in their threats?

Or, could it be they playing a game of economics?

What would be the reaction on the world markets if the US came out and said, " We believe this time North Korea is not bluffing"!!!

Having said that, can any statement possibly make this unstable fool any more desperate to be taken seriously?

If some of us are correct and part of this young leaders problem is his own internal conflict with his military leaders, then making him look like a man of empty words could be a disastrous concept.

Given that, we must remember a great deal of " backdoor" discussion takes place through "third party" nations and hopefully that keeps paranoid leaders from overreacting.

Regardless, the situation in North Korea is the worst it's been since the end of the last conflict there and I'm  not sure how much longer the world markets will ignore it.

World business leaders have their own way of gathering "intelligence" and if you see the markets reacting, you can bet they have found out something the media is not aware of...yet!!!

Ok, back to what I want to talk about.

When I read the linked article today, I told myself it was time I talked about an issue that some of us have thought about for months now!

Can the events in Syria and the events between the Sunni and Shia lead to a open conflict between Hamas units and Hezbollah units?

If not, who has the power to keep them apart and thus virtually destroying any myth of unity between them?

It's not hard to understand how someone like Assad and his Father misinterpreted their ability to "control" two polar opposites like Hamas and Hezbollah.
