“MADRID - Syria will enter the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah if Israel Defense Forces ground troops enter Lebanon and approach Syria, Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said in an interview published on Sunday.”

In 1914, a member of the Serbian anarchist group, the “Black Hand,” killed Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Ferdinand. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia and Russia joined the fight against Austria-Hungary. The French, the British, and eventually the United States, then joined the Russians in the fray in what became the First World War. Now, members of a Syrian and Iranian-backed terrorist organization, Hezbollah, have culled Israel’s full military wrath by killing Israeli civilians and attacking the state’s military. Syria threatens to join the fight against Israel, which is a U.S. ally. If Syria enters the fight against Israel, then the United States and Britain will join Israel. Iran will then join Syria in what will become the Third World War.
