Why should little Israel be expected to carry the water for us?
This is a big problem and I don't think we should put the burden on them. The biggest reason is that Israel is like the US and has lots of internal enemies in its own government.
We gave them a free hand this summer and they basically stopped short of doing what they should have done - because of internal opposition and a wimpy government. This made them look weak and made us look like idiots.
If we're going to take out Iran, we have to do it ourselves. That said, we won't do it, and I'mANutJob is perfectly safe in taunting us, threatening Israel and developing all the nukes he wants.
