Well, one things for sure. Israel has already kicked the crap outta anyone who's attempted to freak with them, and then some. *See the Six-Day War I wouldn't want to be on their bad side.

Israel to attack Iran unless enrichment stops-minister

Jun 06, 2008 06:57 EST

JERUSALEM, June 6 (Reuters) - An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites looks "unavoidable" given the apparent failure of sanctions to deny Tehran technology with bomb-making potential, one of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's deputies said on Friday.

"If Iran continues with its programme for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

"Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," said the former army chief who has also been defence minister.

It was the most explicit threat yet against Iran from a member of Olmert's government, which, like the Bush administration, has preferred to hint at force as a last resort should U.N. Security Council sanctions be deemed a dead end.

Iran has defied Western pressure to abandon its uranium enrichment projects, which it says are for peaceful electricity generation rather than bomb-building. The leadership in Tehran has also threatened to retaliate against Israel -- believed to have the Middle East's only atomic arsenal -- and U.S. targets in the Gulf for any attack on Iran....

I think it'll actually depend how the polls look as to what Israel will do. Usually we have a pretty good idea how an election will go ahead of time.

I voted "before" guessing that Obama will look to be a powerhouse going in. If that isn't the case I don't know.

But I don't think Israel will go all in. There might be only one wave of missiles/strike fighters to take out the centerfuges and nuke plant.

After that I think they'd go on the defensive and hope the distance proves more than Iran can deal with effectively.

And they will move without US approval. I'm guessing the US would rather wait until we're more energy independent before hitting Iran. Or at least until it's obvious they're going for nukes when they kick out some inspectors or something.

If Iran attacks Israel we would defend them.

But rememeber.

If Israel attacks Iran the rest of the middle east will defend Iran.

Don't think of it as staying Israel vs. Iran with the defense of the west if Israel decides to attack it. Al Qaeda, Hezbolla, Hamas, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon would offer military support to Iran and it wouldn't be just against Israel. Terrorism would have a great rise all around the world, and financial/trade war would also be waged by Egypt, Saudi Arabia such as sealing off use of their waters for shipping. And who knows what would go on in Iraq but it would not be good.

If Israel bombed Iran it would ruin the lives of many around the entire world.

Israel has the right to self defense. Iran doesn't. What part of that don't you anti-semites understand!?!?!?![/sarcasm]

actually that's quite true. a pre-emptive attack by israel is far more supported than by iran. iran is the evil one you know.

If they are really going to attack. i would think it would be before Bush is out of office. Then they would figure the US would respond. If they wait and Obama gets elected they wouldn't be sure what we would do. If McCain gets elected we would stay in Iran 100 years as well. I guess.

My guess is that Bush will give the green light for Israel to attack Iran in November prior to the US elections in an attempt to bolster the fortunes of McCain and an ailing Republican party.

Every Nation has a right to self defence although some are better at it then others. If Iran knows whats good for it then the best self defence is to stop the Nuclear weapons program and start dialouge.

Is it just Iran that you wish they follow this procedure?

OR CAN WE APPLY IT TO THE US FUNDED FASCIST ISRAELI STATE WITH HER 231 NUCLEAR WAR HEADS AND ITS REFUSAL POLICY FOR WEAPONS INSPECTORS?
