After all, there are no known military threats to our borders in North America.

What in the heck do you call September 11?

I read the thread. The whole canard about the #3 power is useless without context. I was trying to bring context to the armchair generals.

Who said the IDF doesn't have tactical nukes? They seem to have everything from MREs to H-bombs. I would be suprised if they didn't have everything they need.

Ok, the analytic point of the IDF being pretty ready to go aside, if anyone attacks a country, they should expect to get their @ss kicked by the country they attacked. Regardless of whether the US is involved in the theater.

In case you hadn't noticed, Sept. 11 2001 was done by Saudi's who came to America to do us injury and harm. Sept. 11 is a triggering event, but it is really besides the point. This thread was focusing on Israel's responsiveness to an Iraqi hit. While I agree that all nations have a right to respond to a military attack, the problem is how much Israel damages the end-game created by a victorious US. Israel will hurt itself more by interfering with the US lead coalition.
