"Somewhere on a US Military base there's a person sticking pins in a map of Iran...."
Actually, it's more likely that there's an Israeli general doing that on a base in Israel. They're right there. They have the munitions. It's their country that's at risk.
They'll have our support, of course.
I really hope so. If Israel hits Iran, a lot of fertilizer is going to hit the ventilator in the Arab world.
I hope we stand with them clearly and forcefully. With our recent support of the peace process really meaning we pressure
Israel for still more concessions, I'm a little worried about our stance.
I wish I could remember which Israeli official it was a few weeks ago that I heard or read an interview with. They asked him how close Israel was to taking action against Iran and he said "About 2000 miles."
I'm glad everyone is now getting to enjoy the nightmare that has been making all of us here on FR queasy for the last few months.
Re your #37 -
"...They'll have our support, of course."
I would certainly hope so.
But then again, I will not be betting on it.
Saudi Arabia, methinks, has a lot of influence about where we go and what we do to whom and how.
