Description
Beating the Drums of War As an increasingly nervous Middle East braces for yet another war in a region where the first recorded battle in history took place in 1300 BC between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II and the Hittite King Muwatallish at Qadesh in what is now Syria, Iran's firebrand president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, flew to Damascus for a council with three of his closest Arab allies, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas' chieftain, Khaled Meshaal. The details of what they discussed during their closed-door sessions in the Syrian capital, capped by a February 26 banquet in Assad's presidential palace, are known only to a handful of close associates. But there is little doubt that the main item on the agenda was Iran's insistence on coordinating their forces in attacking Israel if it unleashes a long-feared pre-emptive military strike against Iran's nuclear infrastructure--and, if some Arab commentators are to be believed, maybe even without it.
