But one can’t be optimistic about their chances for success in scuttling the deal. And one can’t be optimistic that the Obama administration will reverse course at the eleventh hour. Which means the last, best hope for stopping the Iranian regime from having nuclear weapons may well lie in a deus ex machina (if one may be permitted to use a pagan phrase for a Jewish state). It is Israel, not the great American superpower, that may well have to act to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions. And so the democratically elected leader of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will have to weigh his choices, with the burden of history on his mind and the judgment of future generations in his thoughts.

Who really cares?
According to G_d’s word ... YES.
Not a great time. We’re currently beating Hussein over the head with his own failure. The less distractions, the better.
Just blow up another scientist. That will slow them down.
They fight or they die.
It would be serendipitous if a series of nuclear accidents left the major sites a permanently irradiated hole in the ground.
Strictly an industrial accident.
About anything else leads us into a war of biblical proportions.
Everybody with a soul...
In 1979 the Ayatollah Khomenei was Public Enemy #1 in the United States, and he'll be remembered in the history books for his signature reference to the United States of America as "the Great Satan."
I look around me in 2013 and I realize that he was probably right about that one.

No mention of the Lord, but He might have some influence.
Bibi I’m sure is well aware of His judgement too.
Will the jewish people be found wanting or rightious...
will we?
Obama it seems has turned his face from Israel, will
we have to pay a terrrible price because of his actions?
I do

My forefathers who fought in wars wouldn't have wasted their time and risked their lives if they knew what this country would be today.
The Germans may have lost World War II, but it sure looks to me like the Nazis won.
I think Bibi knows the American people, he’s a son of Philadelphia, well kinda, but he knows America better than Zero. The American People will support Israel if they strike Iran, if Zero doesn’t then it just show that he is a Muslim.
Rebuild the temple!
Our forefathers would probably take a broom to us, seeing that we let this country become what it has.
Sooner or later Israel will have to act.
My forefathers would probably take a blowtorch to us.
Ease sanctions, allow certain deals all in exchange for vague promises and self-serving language. Hmm, sounds like Oil-For-Food all over again, and we all know what that was leading to before Uncle Sam took action. Except this time it’s the US playing the appeaser and the French showing some spine.
Israel has no choice
I think Israel with Saudi help, will strike Iran before the end of December.
