Iran does not have the offensive or defensive capability to strike back at Israel let alone the US. Any first strike would assume the milatary capability of Iran to collapse on itself. The outcome of today's wars are measured in the first hours and not in years. Bluff and bluster are still part of the Arab worlds first strike capability. The next part of the equation is this: never again will any country spend trillions to rebuild the vanquished. Iran will remain in ruins for decades.

...temporarily. Iran has no WMD, it's against their Ideology. See... Wikipedia, Iran and weapons of mass destruction 2 not mine.

By b.H.o. is Losing Stream, THIS IS WHY NATIONS Should Not negotiate with TERRORISTS!!! The U.S. Congress And Senate Need To Start Implementing A 'NEW" Set Of HARSHER SANCTIONS on the supremeless lead no where!!!

recall no rth korea has nukes and US presidents have paid ransom to coax north korea not to really break out with mixed results. Chinese stand aside though they could if they want to knock out north korean arsenal, much as putin could do to iran and syria. Eventually it bounces back on them adversely. Kerry who got obama in trouble by his overblown rhetoric with no cannot in syria, has come empty in north korea and now iran. Obama is basically a moslem in his bones and so is disinclined to attack a moslem country. Witness his chuminess with the stooge erdogan in turkey etc. Anyone with half a brain knows iran is up to nuclear weapons, yet kerry like his interventions with abbas and bibi, follows through with no real plan. kerry is a big bust and is grossly unwelcome in israel. Bibi should be thrown out by likud as he has not much more guts than olmert and livni, 2 extraordinary cowards.

"We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world." - Ruhollah Mostafavi Moosavi Khomeini

We must eliminate their power plants and cut off the leadership completely.

For example, also "islam"- Iran can take an example, to Israel and to rest of the free and democratic world, on liberty, freedom, human rights policy, financing and democracy. Also, Israel, forever, ever and always!
