Better not happen - I do not want to be recalled a third time.

Iraq (81) Kuwait(91)

Also, does Israel feel that the Iran reactors are a threat?

Probably if they attacked the reactors they would destroy or severely damage them.

Well, here in Israel we get those reports now and then; Today there was another report that came from Iran stating it will destroy Israeli military bases if attacked by the latter, in any form! sounds scary...

WTF, you were recalled in 1981 after Israel bombed Osiraq?

Did the US fear this would be dragged to an all-out war or something?

I think they'd sabotage the Sites before they bombed them.

YEE-HAWW!!!

sabotage is cleaner, but riding the bomb down toward it's target is more fun

Israel should absolutely NOT start any preemptive wars, especially since they are financed in part by the U.S. If we cut of all aid to them and they want to start some sh*t, fine. GO for it.

The US would get to be israel's first line of defense if Iran choose to fight back. I think that if israel violates iraqi ar space we should shoot down the planes.

We could go through undetected. :D

ST, what makes you think Israel would not get US approval for this?

Israel will not get approval because it would really f*ck up the Iraq situation even more then it is currently.

Iran getting its hands on the bomb will cause the Middle-East to become unbalanced (military-wise), and that will not act for the favor of the US, IMHO. Same thing will happen if Israel gives up to terror - If such a thing ever happenes, other terrorist groups will adopt the "successful" model saying that if terror broke down Israel, it could very well break other western, democratic nations, with the US staring in the top list!

If the U.S. wasn't so foolish, it would recognize that Iran is potentially a better friend than Israel.

I feel bad for reading such a say coming from an American. Iran as a better friend of the US than Israel?! :disgust:

I would agree that they are potentially a better friend. Many Iranians seem to be very fond of us, even though we don't give them billions of dollars. If they deposed their mullahs and installed a liberal govmn't they'd be our best friends in ME.

The bomb is not an unbalancing force. It would put Iran at equal footing with israel. The bomb helps stabilize a region because it makes warfare unwinable.

Israel wouldn't attack in any circumstances. Its army is the most moral one in the world :disgust:

No wonder. What should they do if not defend?

I wouldn't support any country pre-emptively attacking others. Especially not Israel...... as if they don't make my stomach turn enough with their 40 year occupation. Israel :thumbsdown: As General Zinni recently said... if it weren't for Israel we wouldn't have ever invaded Iraq: Text

The sad part is they would get approval from neo-con hawks and others. The other sickening part is that you would put a big grin behind this statement. The Israelis have enough blood on their hands without you hoping for more ;)

Then why did they tuck tail and run from Lebanon when Hezbollah kept bombing your arse?

If Israel attacks IRAN, it will almost certainly start a worldwar. And this time, the middle east will be the heart of it. Do you think Iran will do nothing? The world is at a very fragile moment as it is. America is too strong thats why no ones doing anything to it. And besides IRAN is sorrounded by nuclear neighbours willing to help. Pakistan certainly, it doesnt recognize Israel as a state. India, China, who knows what will happen? This conflict will be in China's backyard. You think China will do nothing? Besides, Israel will be raided with more sophisticated "terrorists" and armies, from lebonon and other countries. One bad move from Isreal=WW3
