I seriously doubt anything is going to happen. To paraphrase George Carlin, what we are witnessing is nothing but a multi-billion dollar prick waving competition. Iran threatens Israel, so Israel has to threaten them back, and then Iran ups the ante with a missile launch (which was nothing spectacular anyway).

First off, Ahmadinejad is merely playing 'politics of the street' , something which isn't new in the Middle East, and he's definitely taking a page from Nasser's book. He likes to give loud speeches, and speak like he's one of the people, when in reality, he's a paper tiger.

Here's the real reason why Ahmadinejad is being a sandy butthole:

Iran's economy blows ass.

Simply put, he's trying to divert attention from Iran's poor performance, a strategy that has been done to death by guys like Nasser. Ahmadinejad knows that going to war with Israel and America would be a big mistake for obvious reasons, so he'll continue to be full of bluster, but he'll never act.

If anything, Ahmadinejad is trying to detract influence from Saudi Arabia, a country that is the big player in the Middle East, and has a majority Sunni population, as opposed to Iran's Shiite population.

Secondly, Russia and China sit on the UN Security Council, and will deter any action whatsoever.

The United States has seen what results 'unilateral action' can produce, and so has the rest of the world. Therefore, if a war is desired, the United States will have no choice but to pursue a multilateral approach, and you can bet your ass that no sane country will want to join the Americans on another Middle Eastern jaunt while they still have yet to finish the other two ventures.

Israel COULD go it alone, but I doubt they'll get much support from anyone, including the United States. The American people are tired of the Middle East, and tired of the idiocy surrounding the region... and seeing as it's presidential election season, the candidate who takes the strongest position against Israel will definitely benefit from disgruntled voters.

Edit: And who is this 'God' dude?
