Ditto. All these people here on FR laughing it up, imagining Israel teaching Iran a thing or two. But when the smoke clears, what will happen?

What will Obama do? Nothing good.

How will Iran react? Nukes, perhaps? And maybe one sent our way for luck?

How will China, Europe, and all the little dung hill kingdoms with nukes react?

****

He will blame the U.S. for Israel’s self-defense capabilities and go on an apology tour through the Middle East (bowing to Mecca 5X daily).

Yes. Gamers. This is reality, which lately seems easily confused with entertainment.

Agreed. And there are just as many on the left who want Iran to teach Israel a thing or two.

The Korean peninsula is in dire straits. China, Russia, and Turkey are anxious to flex their muscles. Syrian, Hamas, and Hezbollah are emboldened. Obama is weak, distracted, and a ditherer. He's certainly no friend of Israel. Even if he feels publicly pressured to do the right thing, one false move on the part of Israel's enemies could unleash a war that would be over in a matter of hours.

Ahmadinejad is anxious to hasten the coming of the Mahdi and to unite Iran around a common cause. "Blame the Jews" is a time-honored technique.If Iran doesn't already have a nuclear bomb, of its own design or from the Norks, it can whip up a dirty bomb. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Syria or Hezbollah already has some dirty bombs on their Iranian-supplied missiles.

This scenario does not have a pleasant ending.

Let's see.
Iran sends a nuke, and hits an American city.
A few million dems are obliterated. (Not that it will stop them from voting...)
Obama's "without pre-conditions, let's bow to our betters" style of diplomacy vanishes in a wisp of radioactive gas.
The futility of European socialism as a foundation of military power is displayed

I'm still trying for an ultimate downside, here.
