There will be "retaliation" whether we do anything or not.

A fatalistic attitude there - but can't you see the difference between killing people for no reason and between responding to an attack on a sovereign nation?

It's a great reason to invade countries. The US didnt invade those countries either because it couldnt or because they were allies.

I see... so if a nuclear armed Arab superstate invades Israel, that's OK by you?

Iran can be stopped and therefore it should be stopped.

Why? Because it gives them a deterance against Israel, perhaps?

Okay, how about we act nice to the arabs and give them what they want?

Sure, you can start by converting to Wahhabism. Hey, you may even be eligible to have up to 4 (submissive) wives.

It's tempting.

Yes, in the second case the terrorists dont have to invest in propaganda.

I will understand their motives.

The good part is that since Israel has nukes, the hypothetical Arab super state cant do a thing against us.

A deterrance, and the capability to destory Israel with only a few nukes.

Iran is a country that invests plenty of resources in the destruction of Israel, and from purely selfish reasons I believe that they should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

My life and the life of my friends and relatives and my country come first, "right" and "fair" are luxuries.

Eli, does Israel consider itself in a state of war with Iran?

Arabs? Don't you mean "some Muslims"?

And what do they want? Demilitarization in Saudi, greater political freedom and the dismantling of Israel.

The first 2 are possible - the 3rd isn't.

no no, my friend ,

Thats what they SAY they want... (except Al Quida, which openly wishes for the destruction of the West, especially America) Believe me, if we were to give into all those demands, they would just start demanding moer, and more.

They are just bored, angry men whose lives have no purpose or direction, so men looking for power give them direction (terrorism), and in return they derive power (and eventual wealth) from those who take their direction.

The evacuation of Israel is possible. I already mentioned sending them to New Mexico or maybe Texas

Thats an awesome idea!

Come to Texas, Israel, please! Our standardized testing scores will go thru the roof! Take that Alabama!

It's not their job to support the President. It's their job to do what they think is best for the country, or whatever their owners pay them to do.

Kuwait still isn't free. It just has a different set of dictators running it. Sure glad we suported those monsters.

We can't, or really shoudn't, do anything to Iran right now. We are way over our quota of Arabs killed this year,

Iranians aren't Arab it won't affect our quota.
