If Iran gets nuclear material, the whole world is in BIG BIG trouble. Israel will not allow the possibilty of a neutron bomb suicide bomber.  Israel will do the world a favor by taking out Iran's nuclear facilities.  And believe me- they will.  Just like they did with Iraq 20 years ago.
Israel has put up with these murderers long enough.

  We have taught the world a very valuable lesson.  If you have nukes, we will not attack you no matter how dangerous you are.  Clearly N. Korea was and is a far greater and immediate threat in its ability to proliferate WMD's in the black market than Saddam was.  
   Besides, we don't have a problem with Israel having nukes so why the double standard??  We need a policy of a nuke free Middle East, which INCLUDES a deamnd for Israel to rid its arsenal of over 200 nukes!!

Israel has RESPONSIBLY held the nukes for about 30 years.

It is their ONLY defense.  6.5 million Jews against 1.5 BILLION Arabs who would overrun Israel in a hot minute if they could, and would if Israel did not have the nukes.

Yeah, lets take the nukes from Israel and simultaneously serve up for total destruction the only DEMOCRACY in the Middle East to the terrorists.

Who can we thank for North Korea having nukes?  Oh yeah, I remember, Bill Clinton.  
If I had my may, we'd take out North Korea, Iran and Pakistan.!!! Their Nuclear facilities that is.

No, just take the whole countries out, not Pakistan though, they seem to genuinely want to help.

   That is the message Shrub has send to the world.  When you have 2 threats in N. korea and Saddam, and Shrub tell the entire world that Saddam is the most urgent, grave, and immediate threat to world peace than N. Korea then you truly have send a message that the only way to avoid attack is to acquire nukes.  Its really very simple.  Iran got the clear message of our foreign policy under shrub and they are responding.  
    Oh and about Israel, spare the pity.  If the Israeli right wing nuts, aka the Meir kahne and the likes, make no mistakes they wouldn't hesitate one moment to unleash those nukes so the messiah could come back.  The hardcore nuts of the Israeli religious right are just as dangerous as the Christian right and the taliban.  
    Also don't forget it was Israel stealing our nuclear secrets and passing them onto the communist Russians in the 80's.  I have never placed much stock in that relationship period!!

but then I'm quite sure I'm a fool also.  Hey, aren't you calling names !!!!  Wow, are you one of those fancy hypocrits I hear about ?

about the time you usually start apologizing and/or correcting yourself.  Well, I should say GOOD JOB! because you made it through a whole response w/out pinning someone as a religous zealot, racist or "fag" (to use your words).  And name calling as In me speaking to you I think is different that perhaps one of you lefties calling President Bush a "shrub" or "dumbya" just like one of us righties calling President Clinton "President Blowjob" or his wife the "first wench".  Do you get the difference?  Specifically, 1- You have the ability to respond because you read the threads (although I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see President Clinton in here), and 2-Unless Bill Clinton is one of us posters, none of us occupy the highest position in our government.  Like him or not, the office demands respect.

If you had studied the history of the Middle East, knew  the relationship between Israel and Iran, would not have made your forecast.

Israel will NOT take military action against Iran.  Too late in the night, just arrived from a long trip, but let you study this a little while before give you the historical details.  

Since we are anonymous, I can't collect a bet!  Otherwise, I would have placed a big bet with you!

Oh yes ... I know of Professor Milton Friedman ... everything he says is accurate, and he won a little prize, let's see, I think it was called NOBEL!  From the swedes!  Everything he says is applicable to growing economies. At some point, when we reach full maturity, which we are getting there [we are not as well off as our parents on the average], then rules of the game changes.  But, I appreciate that you are familiar with his work, and at least bothered to study the dynamics of a free market environment.

Back to your main point, Iran is not an Arab nation, a highly complex society, and in the period of 1948 to 1988 was in a close military relationship with Israel.  Something happend in 1988, which I share with you in a new thread when I have a little time, and not this tired.

If you remind me who the Prime Minster of Israel was in 1988, I will remember to give you the background.

The office yes, the person that was appointed to be there at this point, no. He does not respect USA or the people that live here, so he gets no respect in turn.

He has further damaged the already flailing reputation of USA. GW Bush will get no respect from approxomately half of all US Americans and even less respect from more than half of the rest of the worlds population.

He did this by not using tact, poise and reason. His admin. used no diplomacy at all and lied, yes they lied, (no spin you can dig up will change the fact they lied) to get support for the war in Iraq.

Well be the pitcher, they can be the catcher

If I know myself, it was a halfhearted one (if directed toward your kind).  As far as correcting myself - At least I try.

Now, when did I call someone a ``fag''.  The only time I use ``fag'' is when mocking religious zealots or those that share the same ignorant views (e.g., YOU).  Oh, I forgot - You go on camping trips with one.  Perhaps this explains your fascination with ``buttfucking'' Russians or ``assphucking'' puppies (who has issues ?).  

On name calling (1) It is charming how YOU and SnowBoy take offense on the POS's behalf; (2) I could care less what you call the Clinton's; (3) The office should command respect - he can demand all he wants, he's still a tiny little man.  You can admire all you want (In fact, SnowBoy gives you the privelege to express all kinds of ideas/feelings.  Note: THIS IS ME MOCKING).

I don't generally respect Politicians - The higher they are the worst they are.  But to me, Bushie is a special kind of POS. Hopefully, like father like son - 1 term and your out (though I at least had some respect for Bush Sr. and nowadays I even miss Reagan).

The Communists already had nuclear weapons since the 50's.

Israel was in conflict with the Communists.  In case you forget, the Arabs were allied with the Communist Soviets.
