What You Aren't Seeing With Reports That Israel Is Going To Attack Iran Soon

I came across this article earlier this afternoon, and I would like to get the input of my fellow DU members on your thoughts about the article.

http://www.classwarfareexists.com/what-you-arent-seeing-with-reports-that-israel-is-going-to-attack-iran-soon/

A military analyst at Israel’s busiest newspaper says that Iran will strike Iran in the Spring of 2012. But more specifically – for Israel…the Netanyahu administration and other like minded souls are clearly trying to force President Obama into supporting Israel and an implicit defense from a retaliatory strike from Iran. The political calculation is that President Obama will have no choice but to support and defend Israel in an election year if Iran strikes back.

Every country has the right to defend itself hence the importance of "if Iran strikes back".

... if without provocation Israel attacks them?

Provocation can't be, "Well, we think Iran is making an A-bomb so we'll preemptively attack them."

So, is the U.S. under Pres. Obama going to repeat the same mistake we made under Bush/Cheney and buy into this preemptive war malarky?

Furthermore, where is the principle of "every country has the right to defend itself" if Israel attacks Iran? Doesn't Iran have a right to defend itself?

As long as Israel illegally has nuclear weapons, they simply don't have any moral or ethical reason to attack Iran over the allegation that Iran might have a capability someday to construct an A-bomb.

Israel's weapons would not be illegal, if they indeed have them. They are not signatories to the NPT.

You said that we should stand with Israel if they are attacked. But you also say that "Every country has the right to defend itself". Isn't Iran a country? You think they are just going to sit back and take it?
When was the last time Iran ever invaded another country? that's right, never.
