2. Wouldn't it be just cheaper and quicker to nuke Tehran?

3. Deffense?
juan solana ,   san diego, USA   (07.14.11)
Here we go again, more and more billions from US taxpayers, keep it on till fall and die...

5. Islam, the peaceful religion
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.14.11)
So, a religion which followers say is a peace-relegion is actually threathening the world. Then the world should actually get together and remove the islamic threaths. And why don't they? Because of the democratic waves in the western world, making you (wrongly) a racist when you criticize the most evil religion on the earth. In every wars or clashes in the world, islam is one part. It is a denominator in violence.
6. Too little.
Boris ,   USA   (07.14.11)
To create real system to handle all threats, Israel needs to spend three times as much money(around $10 billion) 1) 11 additional Iron Dome systems and missile stash - One Billion $ 2) 4-5 Magic Wand systems - Two Billion $. 3) 3 Arrow III systems - Two Billion $. 4)300 Patriot III missiles to modernize patriot batteries - One Billion $. Total abound $6 Billion dollars in needed.
7. This is NOT funny!
Israeli 2   (07.14.11)
I thought there would be satelites in the sky shooting their destructable accurate lasers at the incoming intruders! All this is is the same Arrow Defense system depending upon radars....Old technology.....Yawn!
8. Flexible Defense Plan
Jill   (07.14.11)
It is Important not to rely on defense plan focussing on one threat from one technology or one direction. Defense plan must be flexible enouigh to switch from different threats from different directions and locations incorporating a preemptive offensive plan if needs be.
9. Gaping Hole (Star Wars vet)
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.14.11)
I don't see anything (in this article at least) dealing with the problem of multiple dummy warheads that are disseminated upon exiting earth's atmosphere. There can be hundreds of "radar signatures" from these dummies to hide the single (or very few) warheads concealed among them. Such systems must have the ability to calculate the weights of the various dummies and warhead(s) based on their equal and opposite reaction to the expulsion forces from the main rocket (or some other means of differentiating warheads from a myriad of dummies). That probably means plotting and calculating the trajectory of each item ejected from the mother rocket--without missing a single warhead. Back in 1986, I presented a plan to IAI using intelligent computer systems to coordinate a squadron of pilotless fighter planes--which could coordinate infinitely faster and more deadly than any group of human pilots. They're just now waking up to the reality that these are well under development in other countries. We could have had them operational before now. Oh, but I'm a convert who worked for American Air Force Intelligence so the knee-jerk Israeli security geniuses figured I couldn't be trusted to safeguard Israel.

11. @2 Mr. William, I think I'm starting to like you...
Jill Masterson ,   Miami   (07.14.11)
more than anyone I've known in a long, long time.
12. Israel's only longterm security guarantee....
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (07.14.11)
is to end the occupation of all the territories it occupied in 1967, incl. East-Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. It is ridiculous to expect you can defend ill gotten gains in an ever expanding arms race. And don't you realize that all your military hardware will not be able to stop the internal rot in Israel, that has already set in. The only solution - which would save Israel billions - is a political solution, that will give long overdue justice to the Palestinian people! Invest in peace and justice.
13. BALOFS Speak to Hamas about no peace ever
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (07.14.11)
and Fatah principle of peace not ending further demands which we all know is dismantling Israel from within by millions of Arabs entering Israel We know the meaning of Dar Al Islam
14. #12 Ben Alofs
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (07.14.11)
Do you really think, Iran cares if the "Palestinians" do get their own failed state or not?
15. The vaunted Mossad should be tasked with
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (07.14.11)
finding the location of Isral's ultimate weapons of defense... Moses' staff, AAron's rod and the Ark of the Covenant.
16. Israel's security.
mike branton ,   las vegas USA   (09.05.11)
Was there peace before 1967? If Israel lays down its arms it would be the end. The arabs do not want peace.
17. Israel's Only Hope
C Smith ,   US   (09.05.11)
After Birkenau and Treblinka and Ravensbrueck and Camp David and Oslo and a never ending “Road Map” to "peace," Israel has conceded. She has joined the world in spiritualizing His Word; yet it matters not, their Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will keep His Covenant: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn (Zechariah 12:9-10, emphasis added).
18. Nuke Tehran?
Justin ,   Oklahoma, USA   (09.05.11)
Sure, if you want Russia and China to take the U.S. Unless the U.S. militia has planes and tanks and nuclear bunkers nobody knows about - nuking Tehran would be suicide. But certainly you were just joking and already knew that. We can't handle Russia's nuclear threat and China's invasion threat in tandem. Not reality =)
