Lets not let our panties get in a twist - Israel can obliterate any country that shoots an ICBM at it.

We lived with Russia for decades and their thousands of missiles pointing at us - and they still do.

If you don't see the huge and fundamental difference between the problem of a nuclear Russia and that of a nuclear Iran, then heaven help you. ...and I'm sure glad you're not in the government.

That is exactly the mindless idiotic complacency Iran is counting on. Iran isn't going to shoot missiles at the US or at Israel. The missiles are to deter, while it makes an arsenal of 50-100 nuclear weapons for an assured second strike capability. As soon as it has one, it will hand 5-10 nuclear weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas to nuke Israel with, and perhaps as many again to other terrorists to deter Europe and the US.

"But we'll just retaliate against them anyway". Really? Are you prepared to retaliate right now against the Russians for helping Iran get its nukes? Didn't think so.

The entire strategy has been explained in great detail in Ahmadinejad's speeches, and indeed in some going clear back to Khomenei, as early as 1983. They aren't in any hurry. But they will become a nuclear power, they will use it to blackmail other states in the region and deter the west out of it, and they will proliferate recklessly to terrorists afterward.

50 years of nuclear armed terrorism are what they expect will be required to overthrown the western liberal world order. They've said so. They are doing it. And complacent idiots in the west are sitting on their backsides resassuring themselves that they would get blown up tomorrow, if they just sit still and wait.
