Israel on the Brink?

This is a blip on the radar right now, but it could blow up fast.

... Polls show that a snap election in Israel will likely lead to Tzipi Livni and the Kadima Party being run over by the far more conservative (and more agressive) Likud Party of Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. If Bibi takes over, the calculus surrounding Iran is going to change drastically, as Prime Minister Netanyahu would be more likely to make a move than current PM Ehud Olmert or PM-Designate Livni.
