We're dealing with people who gave teenagers plastic "keys to paradise" and sent them out to clear minefields during the war with Iraq. These people will use nuclear weapons if they are ever allowed to develop them.

This is a threat to the very existance of Israel and as such there really is no rational case for the US to try to stop them from flying over Iraq to get at the nuclear reactor. If the Iranians did launch a nuclear weapon at Israel it is probable that they would also hit Iraq to try to kill as many Americans as possible. This would lead directly to Israeli nuclear retaliation against Iran and aside from the horrible civilian death toll there would be serious problems for the world oil supply. Do we really want to pay $10 a gallon for gas?

The solution to this problem is to let the Israelis hit them hard and hope that their impotence in the face of a Israeli attack will weaken the Iranian leadership. With any luck it could cause the government to fall.

I think I'm aware who we're dealing with.
We must stop regime from acquiring nukes. No arguement from me. The trick is ...how? If Bush can support the people in Iran to help them overthrow the mullahs (as he's said before), then the nukes don't pose a problem.
I don't think an Israeli attack is the solution right now.

This is mere lie... those brave poor teenagers did it voluntary to defend Iran.
