Decision Time: Will this war go nuclear?
www.frontpagemag.com ^ | 7/14/2006 | David Horowitz

Posted on 07/14/2006 3:23:40 PM PDT by elizabethr

Here is the situation: World leaders are lining up, either on the side of the Islamic terrorists (Chirac and Putin) or the side of their victims (the United States and -- somewhat -- Great Britain). The Vatican, which has an unsavory record in regard to the periodic slaughters of the Jews has thrown its moral weight (such as it is these days) onto the scales against the Jews. As the Hizbollah terrorists fire hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities from Lebanon and the Pope condemns Israel's attempts to destroy the rockets aimed at its citizens, Israel's chief of staff is forced to concede that those rockets can reach farther than previously thought, putting more Israelis in danger. Meanwhile, the Syrian terrorist state tells Time magazine that it could destroy Israel's nuclear sites. Hizbollah, Hamas, Iran and Syria occupy areas that are one hundred times the size of Israel and the populations they control are ten times the size of Israel's. Hizbollah and Hamas, and their patron Iran, have sworn to remove Israel from the face of the earth -- in those very words. Iran has defied the world community in asserting its determination to complete its nuclear program. Syria supports Iran, hosts Hamas and is a party to this malignant Islamic crusade. Behind them stand Russia and China and North Korea, and also apparently the international left which is lining up squarely behind the jihadists -- and has been doing so throughout the open preparation of this second holocaust. The left's favorite apostle Noam Chomsky only months ago was embracing Hizbollah's Hitler, Hassan Nasrallah, and his genocidal agendas.

So here is the issue: If you were Israel's prime minister, could you afford to wait until Iran attains nuclear warheads for Hizbollah's missiles? Or can you be sure it hasn't already been supplied such warheads by Russia or China through Iran? Could you afford to wait to see if Syria will supply the chemical and biological weapons it has cached for Saddam Hussein to Hizbollah and Hamas? Or would you proceed to plan B and obliterate them now?

While the Israeli prime minister ponders this question, leftists who are encouraging the forces of genocide -- Hizbollah, Hamas, Syria and Iran -- might want to think how all the present bloodshed and the next terrible decisions that Israel must take to defend itself -- and their consequences -- will lie on their heads.

Who knows. It's coming sooner or later. Time to "get right".

Iran's goals are spiritual, not material, and the sooner the west learns that the better.

And there is the bottom line of this matter. Not just Iran and the Twelvers, but the Wahhabis also. Allah demands that this world submit (which of course it won't)...or be destroyed.

Makes one wonder if Satan thought he'd won in the Garden of Eden only to find out that Fallen Man will not be submissive to him either.

The "Rule" of the 21st century...

"better to serve God and be free...than submit to Satan's lie about ruling in Hell (and end up a slave)."

This war will go nuclear if the Iranians get the bomb and Russia allows them to use it. I have no doubts in my mind that Iran will use the bomb. If they do, Iran will become a glass plain. In retaliation the Israelis will bomb Iran into the stone age. More than likely Israel will pay dearly as well.
However,, I believe that Iran would involve the US in an attack on our homeland. If that occurs there is no telling where the war will lead.

The Maserati will still look good sitting in the driveway. If the driveway is beyond the immediate blast zone, that is.

I'm with you. I didn't know the Pope and the Oracle of Delphi were Freepers.

We have discussed this here for several years. The simple question has always been whether Israel would strike first to eliminate nuclear threats.

The question we have discussed here for so long is whether they can afford to wait until the nuclear threat emerges?

Having listened to Netanyahu today on Hannity, I'd say they are inclined to err on the side of offense. He was powerful and determined.

Well, Allah nor Satan have F-22 Raptors and B-2 Stealth Bombers.

Oh, okay. Then if my SUV is parked at the time of detonation it will still be good to get me and mine about 250 miles into the wilderness before we are marooned with a million others who also have no idea how to build a city in a couple days.

Going nuclear would in general be bad. While it is satisfying to think of Mahmoud Imacrazyman reaching a couple of thousand degrees, it's probably not practical approach....yet.

Islam is the very embodiment of evil. It needs to be eliminated and if you check some of my posts you will see that I think that islam needs to be eradicated and its shrines and liturature irradiated.

The islamists need to be offered the same choice that they are offering us. Conversion, or death. Dhimmitude is not possible nor is it desirable. But they must be afforded the choice prior to going to oblivion. It's the Christian thing to do. If we don't do that then we are no better then those savages.

I would be productive to have the Euro-weenies on-board with us but they have larger domestic islamic populations than we do and no privately held firearms for the natives to protect themselves from those populations, so we can count them out.

Chaos and all that is exactly what Mohmoud Imacrazyman wants...to bring forth the 12th imam. Mahmoud is a doomsday cultist...similar to many of the christian fundamentaists who believe that this is the end of times as well. So we have two competing doomsday believing groups.

Marvelous.

So what to do.... Let Israel do what it needs to do. Eliminate Hamas, Hezbullah and deport all of the cockroach pali's to anywhere. Israel is there to stay. The pali's haven't the skills, ability nor the brains to make what Israel is now. Palestine was a below a third world craphole while the arabs occupied it. So they're in no position to pass judgment. That it was once islamic land is irrelevant. It was once Roman land too. We can make it radioactive land if they keep it up.

Islam needs to know that the West will kill ALL of them...not just Iran.

Either way, there is no real easy way out of this.

That's how I would read it, Dark Skies...The vatican would particularly like both sides to be honest and dialog in ways that let each side live. Ain't going to happen in this point in time.

Their job is to deplore needless loss of life. But you can't make people tango who won't. It still takes two.

This is going to sound extreme, but I just finished my second very strong margarita, so my inhibitions have gone flying out the window . . . I hope that it does go nuclear. Before you flame me, let me explain my reasoning. I hope the Palestinians or Hezbollah use a dirty bomb. Why? Because then the Israelis can respond with nuclear force without being handcuffed by "world opinion." I believe that these terrorists have to be annhilated. They are evil. Period. Exclamation point. This is a religious war, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. The very survival of civilization depends on the outcome of this struggle. Thus, the sooner that the handcuffs of "world opinion" are loosed from the Israelis, the sooner the ultimate resolution of this epic struggle can be realized. OK, have at me. Like I said, I've had two very strong margaritas, so I can handle what you all throw at me.

I'm cold sober and agree with you 100%.
