The beginning of the End- Hamas Military Chief Killed by Israeli Strike

According to Haaretz the Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari killed by Israeli strike.  Is this the beggining of the end?  What happens to the US if Israel goes to war?  According to the article Israel strikes more than 20 targets in Gaza, killing Ahmed Jabari, who was behind the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit; IDF says ready for ground operation in Gaza if necessary; Hamas: Israeli aggression will lead to war; Israel Police raises alert levels across the country.  "I am responsible for us choosing the right time to exact the heaviest price, and so be it," Netanyahu said. "Whoever thinks that they can damage the daily lives of residents of the south, and that they won't pay a heavy price for this – they are mistaken."

Israel already has wanted to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.  What would happen if Israel bombed Iran?  If Israel does decide to bomb Iran, however, what will it mean for the United States? According to former White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, Americans should brace for a painful impact. Within a week of the first Israeli attack, says Clarke, a worst case scenario would bring soaring gas prices, terror attacks in U.S. cities, worldwide cyberwar, dead and wounded U.S. sailors, and the real possibility of broad American military involvement.  This according to an ABCNews article published in March 2012.

This world is getting scarier by the minute.
