A respected American paper posted a scoop this week: Vice-President Dick Cheney, the King of Hawks, has thought up a Machiavellian scheme for an attack on Iran. Its main point: Israel will start by bombing an Iranian nuclear installation, Iran will respond by launching missiles at Israel, and this will serve as a pretext for an American attack on Iran.

Far-fetched? Not really.

Avnery concludes his piece by saying:

"One thing I am ready to predict with confidence: whoever pushes for war against Iran will come to regret it. Some adventures are east to get into but hard to get out of."
