My solution to the Iran situation. Let them have nukes, let Israel
come out of the closet with their nukes and put a few bombers up riding shotgun in the sky 24/7. It worked for years during the Cold War.

1. I believe
Israel is capable of a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran.

3. Certainly they are capable of it
will we allow them to kill millions of people though, without the justifying provocation of war?

6. I mean mentally and emotionally capable of it
I think they are a people at the breaking point.

How would we stop them?

18. Am I to understand this puzzling sentence to mean
that you believe Israel will be justified in dropping nuclear bombs on Iran on the basis of QUOTATIONS, ambiguous or unambiguous, from the President of Iran?

Are you saying that even without the provocations of invasion, or aerial attack, or naval blockade, or any event that legally indicates the condition of war, that Israel may start a war, attacking a country with nuclear weapons, without blame?

Tell me please, can all countries avail themselves of this amazing liberty, or is it just one?

11. you do realize
the irony embedded in you statetment don't you? BTW, I think it's highly unlikely that Israel will premptively nuke Iran. In fact, I think it's more lilkely that we would.

13. Maybe it's 'cause it is Friday

16. Sure
I was responding to this:

Who are we to to talk about unjustified attacks on other countries?

15. Looks like we are allowing that in Iraq, depleted uranium
Pretty much the same, the death toll will be similar

4. I believe
the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

14. It worked until one country completely decimated the other in
non-nuclear ways. Which country should break down which and who gets the IMF to decimate their economy when it's all over?

10. Let no one have nukes. No military aid to any nation that has them.
Including Israel.

US should start dismantaling them. Iran says that they do not plan to acquire them. Let's hold them to it while we work for an equitable solution.
