Justin Raimondo predicted the following:

"War with Iran will probably not begin with a frontal assault by the U.S. and/or Israel on Iran's alleged nuclear weapons facilities, or even a skirmish along the Iraq-Iran border. Look to Lebanon and Syria for the first battlegrounds of this developing regional war. The Israelis know perfectly well that Iran's nuclear ambitions, if they ever materialize, are not an immediate threat: their real concern is their volatile northern border, where their deadly enemies – Hezbollah – are an effective obstacle to Israeli influence. The Israelis are also looking to exploit growing opportunities to make trouble in Syria, where the restive Kurds are their reliable allies, and the brittleness of the Ba'athist dictatorship is an invitation to regime change."

I think he called it right. Israel is out of control and Bush is their puppy dog. Raimondo points out that the war in Iraq coupled with the current Israeli attacks on Lebanon resembles very closely the "
Clean Break" Strategy articulated in 1996 by a group of pro-Israeli Americans – including Richard Perle, James Colbert, Charles Fairbanks Jr., Douglas Feith, Robert Loewenberg, David Wurmser, and Meyrav Wurmser for then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It "proposed a strategy of regime change as the only solution for Israel's growing encirclement and isolation."
