How exactly would an Iranian nuke hitting Israel trigger WW3? Hmmm?? Who is going to retaliate for a destroyed Israel??? Do you think the Arab states are going to attack Iran for destroying Israel? France? China? US? Russia? WHO? Exactly no one. There is no geopolitical path that leads to an escalation from Israel being destroyed by an Iranian nuclear program. That is why the financial community WANTS it to happen. They can NOT predict what will happen if Israel defends first. So they will not allow that to happen. I challenge anyone to explain a logical and realistic geopolitical sequence beginning with Iran destroying Israel with nukes, that leads to global thermonuclear exchange. There isn't one because like I said, NO ONE is going to invade Iran on our behalf, with Israel gone. I don't know what protection you think we have.
32. Iran the only aggressor

As if it wouldn't be a catastrophy if Iran who threatens to annihilate Israel sends a nuke...So far the only idiots making any blatant threats about annihilation is the bastard s in Iran.. but I guess that's okay? Isreal should start threatening and see what the world has to say and the double standard....

Your contributions are great, but this time I disagree. Once the Iranians have nukes, they will have a small window of opportunity to destroy the Saudis before the Saudis buy their own nukes. The Iranians won't have a choice but to attack quickly. Obama will have no choice but to intervene to save his Saudi friends. Checkmate. Israel wins.
34. Dear Mr Le President, this "absolute
(07.10.09)
catastrophe" you are talking about cannot compare to a new holocaust Iran is preparing for Israel. That is why Israel cannot afford waiting to be saved by very reluctant, opposed and indifferent European states who are willing to dance to the Iranian tune of threats. One example : another few months of stay of execution to the ayatollah devils given by pacifying and appologetic Europeans and G8-s ! Unless it wants to diappear, Israel must act now and very firmly !!!
35. I agree, Sarkozy

France should be raided first so Iran can be dealt with without french irritating babbling.

Had the countless UN sanctions and resolutions imposed on Sadaam Hussein succeeded in removing his intended WMD threat, the US-led coalition would not have been compelled to invade Iraq. Politics and diplomacy failed miserably then, and is failing now vis-à-vis Iran. Should Israelis feel an existential need to attack Iran, it will come as a result of the ‘free’ world’s impotence.
