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.
But they do say, and I paraphrase, "Who is gonna buy all our stuff now?" Who would they be referring to that used to buy all their "stuff"?
Of course, you don't know that for a fact. Prophecy isn't fact but a coded message for true believers.
Nobody (except the Muzzies) wants a full-out war, and Israel will just apply pressure (breaking things like airports, TV stations, infrastructrure) until the nations supporting the terrorists buckle under and boot out the terrorists.
If Israel wanted an all out war they would have simply bombed the living daylights out of everyone involved without warning or advance notice.
I think eventually it will. I also have a little different view than some. I say the time to use overwhelming and devastating force is long overdue. If the united states had been the victim of as many attacks as israel the people would have been clamoring for a nuclear response. Do I think going nuclear will cause more problems? Yes in the short term but I am convinced that wacko's in the middle east will learn by no other way. Maybe living in the remnants of a devastated country will teach the rank and file muslims that they should choose their leadership more wisely
Is that the famous painting "Morning in Teheran"?
Welcome to FR...........I think.
After two glasses of Merlot, I find myself tentatively, reluctantly agreeing with you. We need the "handcuffs of world opinion" loosed from our country, as well.
It's a battle older than time. Good vs. evil.
Yes, isn't that a prophesy by someone back in the middle ages? Between that and what I am reading in the Old Testament right now, we are in for a wild ride. I have come to true Christianity late in life, but better late than never, I suppose. We ARE in the end times. There
okay I'm kidding 'bout the mouse part.
IMHO, I think that it was inevitable.
Yes well they've been going on for over a millenia now.
Two words;
Shut
Up
(To the Pope, not you)
It probably won't go nukular, but even if it does, so what?
Well, the price of oil might sneak up a tad.
Well, I'd shoot up again but i think it'd kill me.
SARCASM OK!!!
Ve have our vays.............
Nobody's cars will work after EMP. Won't need oil.
"The World" is not safer today than were 5 years ago."
With that I agree. But nobody said it would be. I believe it IS safer than it would have been had we not taken Iraq, which, by the way, is what we really did.
Because if they end up with a deal whereby Russia enriches the uranium for Iranian nuclear power plants while the US is the one doing the heavy lifting to prevent an independent Iranian weapons program they will benefit.
I think Russia is being greedy and stupid because generating electricity in Iran isn't what any of this is all about.
>>Will this war go nuclear?
No<<
Whew! That's a relief. Thanks!
