August 22, 2006 - The Official Start of WWIII?

I'm thinking it's already underway, kicked off by Hizballah's kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers and bombing in Lebanon and Israel.

Director of Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer has an article in FrontPageMag.com titled Iran's Day of Terror , he writes.......

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has frustrated Western officials by refusing to reply to their offer of various incentives in exchange for Iran’s discarding its nuclear program until August 22. The Western governments had asked Ahmadinejad to reply by June 29; why would Tehran need two extra months?

Farid Ghadry, the president of the Reform Party of Syria, has offered a provocative explanation for this delay. He asserts that the Supreme National Security Council of Iran chose the August 22 date “for a very precise reason. August 21, 2006 (Rajab 27, 1427) is known in the Islamic calendar as the Night of the Sira’a and Miira’aj, the night Prophet Mohammed (saas) ascended to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on a Bourak (Half animal, half man), while a great light lit-up the night sky, and visited Heaven and Hell also Beit al-Saada and Beit al-Shaqaa (House of Happiness and House of Misery) and then descended back to Mecca.…”

Read it all.

What would happen if Ahmadinejad bombed/nuked Israel? What would China do? What would Russia do? Europe? Indonesia? The Norks? (the perfect term for N.Korea and that pug rat Kim Jong Il?) What about all of the terrorists and terror cells around the world? Would the floodgates open up with consant rampant terror attacks taking place worldwide? Or would cooler heads prevail.

What scares me is Ahmadinejad's constant reminding of wiping Israel off the map, his obsession with Armegeddon and with the August 22nd date.

What if Ahmadinejad does nothing on August 22. Will he be seen as a blowhard and lose face? Or was this date given by him just a coincidence?
