Nah, the arab world has learned not to mess with Israel. The Israelis have kicked their asses so many times in so many ways that their talk of destroying Israel is just that: talk. It's only a good idea if they can get somebody else to do it. Nobody has the balls or the military might to do it themselves. If Israel nails the Iranain nuclear program like they did to Osirik there will be a lot of complaints and talks about jihad, but you will not see Iran throw down against them.

I shall present a multitude of stupid questions:

If one country's leader says they are going to totally destroy another country, is that not the same as declaring war?
Doesn't Israel have the right to defend itself against an enemy that has declared war?

North Korea and Iran have been developing Nukes ...
So what did the US do, went after Saddam ...

Sigh ...

I think Israel has the right idea here.

It is different now. Look at Lebanon. The soldiers are less experienced and the tactics are too outdated. Guerilla Warfare is hard to attack unless a clear direct course of action is taken, and everytime that happens, many people die. It was possible before, but now, it is a bad situation especially since the nuclear development is interspursed as well.

The U.S. not attacking N Korea is totally different than this situation. S Korea and all the US Soldiers stationed in S Korea would be totally screwed if we attacked. Also, not only that but politically/economically it would backfire with our agreement with China. It is a sticky situation over there too, which didn't have to start that way.

Israel has struck against Iran's nuclear facilities before and there was no WWIII.

But that was a tactical strike on a few main facilities. Now with the facilities interspursed, Israel would have to occupy first, which they are not good at anymore.

Rebasaxr.... wtf man? The Jews?!?!

A little insight for ya, broham: Israel is our best friend in a region full of homicidal Islamofascist nutbags that run their countries into the ground. They don't make threats calling for a billion people worldwide to try to kill us, they have a working democracy and an international economy... something you will not find in hardly any other country in the region.

So, in addition your ridiculous anti-semetism, you're also ignorant of just how "like us" the Israelis are.

Why would they have to occupy?

I'm not sure Russia would stand by idle watching their financial interests go up in smoke. They did it with Iraq and probably are regretting it now.

Btw, who opened the P&N cage.
