Iran is rushing to move it's nuclear facilities deep inside mountains. A few well placed smart bombs can turn them into nuclear tombs. Better to stop now their efforts to make nuclear weapons and disarm their terrorist proxies- Hezbollah. Hamas and others. By the way, if Iran dared to retaliate against the US they would deeply regret it. Living in the stone age was not that great!.

The Iranian threat is more or less a hoax - like Saddam's WMD etc. Why on earth should Iran attack Israel? Commodities? Territory? The "poor" Palestinians? The Mullahs control the country and the only thing they want is keeping their power. The educated Iranians want wealth, the uneducated don't even know that Israel exists. The majority of the Iranian people don't hate Israel. But this would change dramatically if Israel would start a war. Iran is much bigger than Israel and they, at least most, don't live in caves. Iran has its own space programme and they will be the fourth country to send people into space. And Israel wants to defeat them with a few F-16 planes? And Israel's potential allies in North America and Europe are broke with large economic problems.

- China may seize the opportunity ?. Arn.Sweden.

"we" ? Another one with loyalty syndrom - Do you know one of the terms in Polish for an incitement and why is so popular ?

You are as ignorant as the appeasers during the 30's. Did you know the world was broke when Germany started invading countries? Appeasers(Cowards) like you show the ignorance of mankind towards history. The only reason Iran hasn't attacked is because they haven't had the power to. Nukes change the equation and a simple minded coward like you should be able to grasp that.

That sounds more comprehensive to me. :)

that no country can win a war on multiple fronts against numerically superior foes, except Israel.

I've followed your posts about Israel for a while, and I'm curious: When Israel wins again this time, are you going to twirl your mustache and say, "curses, foiled again!" or something?

Better let he muslims make the first mistake. At war it is question about the morals - the moral side will win in the end!

Wow you are really smarter than us. For the most part I disagree with your post, however this time I have to say ENOUGH of your post. Americans can't afford another war. We don't live in big fancy houses like Israeli's and don't make big salaries like Israeli's and we certainly can't afford 7-8 dollars a gallon like Israeli's so stop trying to drag us in a war we can't afford. Enough Sarah stop bashing us Americans because we don't want our soldiers to die for anyone. If Iran attacks us directly then we will destroy them, but not for no one else. Look at Libya, Obama only went along because he had to. War today is a hard sell in America unless we are attacked directly. Americans had enough of war and

You don't say

The US have almost surrounded Iran. There are US troops in several countries in that area and the Persian Gulf is probably full of carriers. Now tell me: who is threatening who? Are there Iranian troops in Canada and Mexico? Iran is one of the few countries that was not attacked by the US - yet, and you wonder that Iran is trying to get Nukes? What else should they do? Again, Iran has no reason to attack Israel. Why should they? Iran uses Israel to detract from their domestic policies. A war is not in their interest. The comparison Iran and Nazi-Germany is historically nonsense. You can't use the failed appeasement politics of the 1930s as an excuse to start wars against all sorts of countries today, just because you feel "threatened".

With their vast resources the US can not only just destroy Iran's nuclear sites but the entire Iranian military machine .. missiles, airforce, navy, heavy damage to ground forces and it can all be done using air power. That will mean Iran is no military threat to anybody for the next twenty years. Assuming Israel is capable of doing something to stop the nuclear program it can't do that. Destroy the Iranian conventional military in the process and it will certainly mean the only way Iran can hit back at Israel is through support for terrorists and we can handle that. Iran will certainly make trouble for everybody in the region if attacked The US has to ask itself though do they want to deal with the fallout from an operation that smashes the Iranian military and their nuclear weapons program now or do we want to wait till they have the nukes and then start to bully the entire Gulf. What happens when Iran develops missiles that can hit mainland America? Give them nukes and missiles that can hit America and you have a new Cold War on your hands and there is no way even the US is going to go after a nuclear armed Iran. So long term its in America's interests to do something to stop Iran getting nukes. Look 5 - 10 years into the future when making decisions not at the situation in 2011 / 2012 becuse by then if nothings done Iran will be a global power. Also trying to topple the ayatollahs is risky because we really have no idea who would step into replace them, it could be some radical government. This is the Middle East not Europe where even Stalin didn't believe in the suicide cult the way so many do here.

The racist attitudes of Muslims towards Jews has been there for generations and that is why there is no peace. You say America has surrounded the Iranians, then why haven't we attacked them already. If you truly believe that America can't destroy Iran's armed forces then I believe you are about as truthful as Baghdad Bob was during the first Gulf War. You and your people need to wake up or suffer the same consequences as the Nazis during WWII. Israel will not allow another Holocaust and with America by her side there isn't even a remote possibility of it happening. The evil plots of Muslims are destined to fail but maybe you'll need to experience it before you can believe it.

Always Israel is surrounded by 22 Arabs states, but who wins the war. Israel or the Arabs? Israel not scared with 22 Arabs States. We are called LION OF JUDAH,and we will fight like LIONS.

Atlas is a bit weary though. If the Persians must be de-fanged, we shall determine the timing and manner of it.

..maybe France, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Greece, Poland, Micronesia and certainly.....not you

First let me say to all the people hyping war with Iran..WAKE UP!! Iran is not Iraq and they are not Hezbollah. I bet every commenter posting here that the very second that missiles start raining down on Tel Aviv...Bibi will beg the US to help him spin the destruction and death being brought to Israel as "not his fault" just like Lebanon. Now for my point..do Israelis think that Iran is some Banana republic that is just gonna fire a few Katusha rockets and call it a day..or that Iran is like Iraq and will just launch a few crappy scuds into Israel? Circa 1991 Noooo the Israeli public needs to know and understand that when Iran launches missiles as retaliation they will ALL be 2000 pound guided missiles (there goes that expectation that Iranian missiles will land in a field somewhere) that will cause deaths..don't say you weren't warned..I can assure Israel that the mood in the US is not anywhere near helping out in another war..and the people that say "never again" should be the US..."never again will we fight a war for Israeli interests.

..any better suggestions? Vis-a-vis the Iraq war..American interests just happened to coincide Israel's. Saddam Hussein had also threatened to annihilate us. ...It was actually Israeli that cleared the way for that campaign by taking out Osirak in '81.

MOVE!!!!! Because war every single year is not a sustainable foreign policy. Especially when 99% of the weapons used by the IDF were made in the USA..my point being is Israel is NOT self sufficient, as Bibi would like the world to think. Want to launch airstrikes against the US wishes??? Then use Israeli made munitions..oops i forgot Israel DOESNT possess its own weoponry. THIS forum needs to understand collectively that NOT every poster is oblivious to history. AND Sarah this is for you...if you think YOU guys can win without a 19 year old soldier from Montana..GO FOR IT!! Don't forget who is the client state in this conversation.Not the USA.

"Mutually Assured Destruction" doesn't and cannot work when one or more of the Countries involved believe it is "legitimate" to use suicide bombers. When it is a shortcut to Paradise & 72 virgins to die for Allah, nuclear weapons are a bad idea. Hit Iran, destroy their capacity to launch ballistic missiles. As Russia is behind this, start exporting latest generation ATGM's, Artillery, and Armoured Vehicles to Georgia & Azerbaijan immediately. That is diplomacy, they broke their word, now they can pay for it. But with regard to attacking Iran being "not in America's best interest..." since when does Barrack Hussein give a fuck about Americas best interests?
