Hold off confronting Iran until when? When there are mushroom clouds rising all over the Middle East?

Hold off? Why not just cut to the chase and ask the Iranian nut-job to give the all Arabian U.N. members secret advance notice so that they can vacate NYC just prior to the strike?

In the meantime, U.N. is too preoccupied congratuling itself on empty accomplishments and beating up on Israel. They're secretly happy about Iran because they want Iran to nuke Israel.

And then magically, all of the Arabs' problems caused by their own stupidity and short-sightedness over the last 1,500 years will be solved.

I saw a bumper sticker : " I don't give a damn what John Kerry or the French think". Do you think the American people will wake up election time?

Ah, yes. The Neville Chamberlain and Theo van Gogh school of dealing with violent nuts. Talking the bad guy to death only works on old Star Trek episodes and only when the bad guy is an evil computer.

The only problem with Iran's objective is if they strike first, Israel's response will take out all of Iran, Syria etc.

Israel may be gone but so will all of the Middle East.

Not all over, just centered around Israel.

the nuclear winds of winter will blow sooner than we imagine. with the world doing NOTHING Israel has no choice other to respond in kind.

having been on the frontline and in the trenches since 1948, they are the only ones who know the need, urgency and the cost of not responding appropriately. they are far more intimate with what is at risk then anyone in the g8. they also know they cant trust the rest of the world let alone the g8 - so out of self preservation, they have to go it alone. They have to act.

which is too bad
