Israel plenty nervous about Iran
Israeli officials think Iran will have nuclear weapons within two years. Iran wants to use their nukes on Israel. Iran's #2 official, cleric Hashemi-Rafsanjani, has stated that annihilating Israel is worth Muslim collateral damage, and Iran was behind the 1992 and 1994 terrorist attacks on the Israeli Embassy and a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Iran regularly supplies Hezbollah with weapons, including long-range rockets, through Damascus, Syria; and in 2002, Iran tried to sell arms to the Palestinian Authority for use against Israel.What's more, the Israelis think Iran's nuclear weapons deveopment program is unstoppable. They are hoping for regime change from within. Posted by Judith Weiss at April 25, 2003 09:55 PM | TrackBack Comments
and then we would turn the Iranian military, and all the tough-guy mullah-hullas into smoking holes in the ground. Take out Irans nuke facilities. In other words, it's OK for Israel to terrorise anyone she wishes and keep her nuclear, biological and chemical weapons as a deterrent against anyone wishing her to stop the terror; while reserving the right to ask for regime change of a leadership elected by the populace of a sovereign state. Proposterous and shameless are two adjectives that pop up. Is the US willing to go bust fighting Israeli wars? Posted by: Sun at April 26, 2003 12:53 PMits no sense to be nervious. Its time to nuke savages now or it will be too late. Posted by: sensible at April 26, 2003 01:34 PM"In other words, it's OK for Israel to terrorise anyone she wishes and keep her nuclear, biological and chemical weapons as a deterrent against anyone wishing her to stop the terror" Israel is a democracy, has a population of 6 million, and is surrounded by a couple hundred millions Arabs and Persians that would love nothing better to destroy it. For that reason, I'm quite willing to cut it some slack over its nuke program. Iran is a country of 80 million that even the U.S. isn't willing to invade right now, containing an autocratic regime that's despised by most of its own people. Iran is the largest or second-largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. Huge difference, and I think you know it. Posted by: Bob at April 26, 2003 02:32 PMOh, by the way. "while reserving the right to ask for regime change of a leadership elected by the populace of a sovereign state" LOL! That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while. While pondering why I think so, go ask yourself why less than 12% of Tehran's eligible voters bothered to go to the polls the last time the last time they had the opportunity to "elect" some of their leaders. Posted by: Bob at April 26, 2003 02:35 PMWay to go, Bob. That's 500 million sworn enemies, by the way. Sun would feel different if his/her ancestral home was the state of Delaware, and the other 49 states plus Canada and Latin America north of the Panama Canal were full of people who hate him/her, and announced daily their plans to kill him/her at the first oipportunity.
