Because of the hostility between the Arab nations and Israel, I think it would be better if the United States took out Iran's nuclear program. Either way, I really feel that Iran has proven itself untrustworthy to allow them to have nuclear weapons.

Right about now?
Perhaps you might like to check your history. You'll find that the Persians and the Jews haven't actually got much history of fighting. Quite the contrary in fact, the Persians are traditionally viewed as liberators in the guise of Cyrus the great.
Let me start by Saying America should have dealt with Iran's (MULLAHS) a LONG TIME AGO... Probably shortly after the Hostage Crisis.
....MOVING FORWARD... I would kindly remind my buddy's @ FREE-REPUBLIC, **NEVER** Under-Estimate an Enemy.
Sure Israel may have a Bad-Ass & Hi-Tech Military. BUT that does NOT mean the nation of Israel is Immune from harm and Iran CAN certainly hit Israel HARD - YES IT CAN!! Not doubt Israel will VERY LIKELY *WIN* any War/Conflict with Iran.
HOWEVER, it will get MORE than a bloody nose in the process. Sure Israel with its 200+ NUKES, can wipe Most of Iran of the Map... But Iran too In RETALIATION (OR)
Pre-Emptively, can launch 100s of Chemical+ Biological+ Radioactive & (Poss-Nuclear) Ladend Missles towards Israel. YES Some will be Shot down, BUT some will certainly get thru.... The Long Term effects would be parts of Israel would be un-livable for a Few Decades...
Another issue is.... Iran is a MASSIVE Country, ONE-FITH the Size of the USA, or 6xThe size of Great Britain. It can Weather a few dozen nuclear hits from Israel, HOWEVER. Israel is a TINY Country, a Mere 20,000 Sq-Km, it CANNOT weather a "Significant" Non-Conventional Attack, this has been highlight by the IDF....
Lets try and sort this MESS out rationally (if the Mullahs know what it means, but they are not stupid)... America NOR Israel needs another WAR... Look at Iraq, its F**KING mess... US Soldier Dying Every-Day, how sad ;o(
Completely Exhaust the Diplomatic + Economic + Political Pressure/s... Then and ONLY then should we act Militarily.
CHEERS!!!!!
