1. A nuclear Iran would be a "game changer"
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (01.18.12)
Let's guess: What would be the military doctrine of a nuclear Iran? Would it be a nuclear shield for Gaza? Or Lebanon? Really? NO! What would be the future doctrine of Israel, as it still doesn't posses nukes? At least, up to now, nobody knows about Israel having nukes. What would be the game, if Iran has, but Israel doesn't? The Arabs of course will continue to believe, that Israel has nukes. But where is the proof? Did Israel ever explicitly demand the destruction of any of it's neighboring countries? I believe the world must learn, that rumors do not justify policy. Yes, of course, Israel has a nuclear program. Did you ever compare the size of Israels program with Iran's?
2. last line of defence...?
les ,   canada   (01.18.12)
it will already be TOO LATE! if push comes to shove, israel will face its enemies all alone. and israel will have no choice, but to eliminate the ones who wants to eliminate it. then, and maybe then will muslim accupied europe wake up, and stand up for themselves too.
3. Some want to make such systems Israel's ONLY line of defense
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.18.12)
Even as some are trying to limit Israel's rights to take military action in its self-defense, some would have Israel rely on anti-missile systems as its *only* course of action. They would, for example, insist Israel bear the expense of defensive missiles and not go into Gaza to stop rocket fire. Or they will insist that Israel no longer "needs" the high ground to defend against attacks on Ben Gurion Airport, that missile defenses are adequate. That's a position Israel must never accept.
4. #1
Malcolm Blankenship ,   US   (01.18.12)
But your policy of undermining and destabalizing nations (friendly nations as well) as well as playing both sides is just as bad. Israel is just as much a theocratic terrorist state as any of the states it claims as evil. Why would you, or any jew for that matter, reside in Germany?
5. Offense first line of defense !!!.
