Iran, which refuses to recognize Israel, says it only gives moral support to anti-Israeli groups like Hamas and Hizbollah

That should be M.O.R.A.L. support for Money, Ordnance, Rockets, Assistance, Logistics.

Is most of Israel's political infrastructure still in Tel Aviv? Haven't they moved it to Jerusalem yet?

[John Carey]

Hezbollah won. Iran, who had bet on Hezbollah, will now double the bet.

Iran says it has no desire to have atomic weapons and is only developing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, such as electricity generation.

Q: What do Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tehran all have in common?

A: Nothing, yet

[Pro-Bush]

Iran's been cocky since the ceasefire and interview with Wallace. I wouldn't put anything pass them over the next few months, they got that glow going on.

[Vaquero]

The cease fire by the UN is bogus and will only allow the Hezbos to regroup. A bad move.

[Brilliant]

If Iran hits Israel, that would be a good reason for Israel to hit back with nukes & put Iran out for good.

[ChristianDefender]

By the time Iran fires them, Israel's Prime Minister will be Benjamin Netanyahu... he ain't gonna listen to U.N. when IDF has the advantage...

Hope they remember this:

The Samson Option-- what is known about Israel's Nuclear Weapons?

OT, but related- much information about fallout patterns, radius of damage, etc., among these links:

-The India-Pakistani Conflict... some background information- --

Iran says it has no desire to have atomic weapons and is only developing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, such as electricity generation.For these Muslims. removing Israel from the map is the highest peaceful purpose one can attain for Allah.

[DustyMoment]

Despite all their hype, Iran will lose a lot of clout in the Arab Mideast if Aug. 22 comes and goes with nothing to show for it. Ahmadinejab has created a situation in which his only choice is to either put up or shut up.

With all of Iran's sabre-rattling, my fear is that they may actually have the means to destroy an entire Israeli city (such as Tel Aviv), and truly launch the opening shot of what will become global conflict on a previously unseen scale.

We have 7 days to go to find out.

Sure, they have the range.

But do they have the accuracy?

Nope.

Maybe the Gaza Strip and Syria won't be a problem anymore,,,
