If Bush does not take action on Iran, who do the liberals blame when they attack Israel with a nuclear weapon?

Or they use them against us, which they already SAID they would. But hey just because a country that harbors terrorists, and pretty much wants to see all Americans DIE a horrible painful death, and IS going to get nuclear weapons and DID say they WILL use them again us, our citizens, and our allies, does not mean we should stop them. I mean come on, let's let them kill a few million peoiple first, THEN maybe we will let NATO try some political sanctions for a few years.

Did you watch the last war, (desert shield)?  We fired at them and they fired at Israel.  If Iran get their hands on a nuke what do you think they will do?  Let's see, I know generate power for Israel.

It is dangerous for numerous reasons:\n\n1.  The Iranian President is a madman, who threatens to destroy Israel and Western civilizations because he feels they are attacking Islam.\n\n2.  If he acquires nuclear weapons, the US has roughly 150,000 troops in the region.  They would be sitting ducks...\n\n3.  If Iran attacks Israel, the US will have to get involved militarily.\n\n4.  The Iranian President came to power by fixing the election in his favor.  One who achieves power this way cannot be trusted.\n\nDid I forget anything?

ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to halt the Iranian nuclear programme. \nThe inner cabinet of Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, gave “initial authorisation” for an attack at a private meeting last month on his ranch in the Negev desert. \n\n \n \nIsraeli forces have used a mock-up of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment plant in the desert to practise destroying it. Their tactics include raids by Israel’s elite Shaldag (Kingfisher) commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs to penetrate underground facilities.

The media is really hyperinflating this.   The use of a strategical nuclear bomb must come from Congress.   The President may authorize the use of a single tactical nuke.   Doing that without Congressional approval would be political suicide for everyone under G.W. Bush though.   Bush doesn't have anything to lose by using this strategy, but he will utilize every other option he has before going that route. \n\nI would think that if Iran does not comply soon (and the clock is ticking my friend), covert actions will be taken if possible.   If they aren't an option, then it is likely that you will see the use of the B1 bombers and Tomahawk missles.  Perhaps some F-111 or other precision bombers too.   \n\nIran isn't stupid either.  They have their labs in fortified areas....surrounded by civilian populations, so when they are bombed, they can cry to the bleeding heart liberals that we bombed the women and children.   \n\nDon't look for nukes from the US to be hitting Iran soon.  Let's just make sure nukes from Iran aren't hitting the US anytime sooner either.

the liberals will blame Bush for letting it happen.

I think that we will eventually get into a war with them, if some bleeding heart liberal gets elected, I don't think we will do anything to stop them.  \n\nHeres what I want to happen, We need to either set up a military overthrow, and set up a true democracy there, or we need to go in there, and systematically destroy every facility that is even remotely assosciated with neuclear anything, and then assasinate a bunch of people in the government.\nHopefully, this is what bush will do, 1. Kill welfare, 2. with all that money, fund a full scale invasion of Iran.  3. If neccesary, draft...

I don't understand. US suggests they want to attack Israel. But Iran has already tons of WMD's and an outstanding army (nothing to do with the Taliban Afghanistan, or the isolated Sadam), besides the great power of being the fourth reserve of oil, and the economic power it represents.  \nIran says they want nuclear power, to be a developed country. But it's not necessary to have nuclear power to develop. Many European countries or the neighbour Arab Emirats, are more than developed wihtout nuclear power. \n\nA military strike would be the worse option. If they want to have nuclear power or even nukes, they should, like many other countries, even with dictators do. Only because they don't have a good relationship with Israel or US, it shouldn't be banned. \nIf in 10 years they dare to attack someone with nukes, they will be easily smashed back. \nI mean they might be extremists, but they're not suicides.

No, they'll just blame Bush and say we had it coming for the "illegal" war in Iraq, you can't win when it comes to liberalism

The west should NOT assist any country that is not democratic..period!!!  When Iran turns their nukes toward Israel …..WE will be the first to throw our men and women into harms way!!  And WHY!?  Does someone have the answer to that?  Why should we throw our people into another war in the middle east? For who? For a country that would just as soon through us to the freekin dogs when we no longer are necessary to meet any of their needs???\n\nFor instance Benjamin Natanyahu said…” the cause of the attacks on the United States was a cause of it’s own”  …. Sounds like someone you’d want as an ally now doesn’t it??

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

First, Iran is building a nuclear reactor for electical power use only. It is israel that is insisting that they are building WMD in order to fool the stupid American people into invading their enemies.\n\n  Don't be fooled about Russia, they are helping Iran and had threatened that if Israel attacks Iran they will use their nuclear might against Iran and supply the Palistinians with weapons so they can finally fight back the terrorist state of Israel.\n\n    Israel is the only ones over there that have the greatest nuclear weapons. What makes these war mongers think that they are the only ones allowed to protect their country. If Iran wants WMD's I don't blame them!That is the only way they can keep the war mongering terrosit state of Israel at bay.\n\n  However, if Israel attacks Iran without provocation  ( not one of their fales flag operations where they do the damage and blame their intended target as usual) they ( Israel) will be facing a force they will wish they had not. Iran has the weapons necessary to decimater Israel and totally destroy them. If Israel makes attempts to use nuclear weapons then Russia has sworn to defend Iran with nuclear weapons and China will also join in.\n\n  If Israel attacks Iran, then the poor Palistinian people will recive much needed weaponry  to fight back against Israli  forces that have been murdering Palistinians  by the thousands in what amounts to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Then the Palistinians will finally be able to get revenge on these terroist who murder them dalily. And rightly so!\n\n  Israel is walking a thin line and any move by them will totally devastate Israel and rightly so. They are  boxing themselves in a corner and then there will be no escape for them as the world powers grow tired of this war mongering  and false flag terroist state. \n   \n   I hope they do attempt to attack Iran, then they will finally get what they have deserved for so long for so much killing they have done while western nations cover up the autrocities of this terroristic state every day. Then and only then when they are decimated will the world finally have peace, with the worlds war mongers gone! Praise GOD!\n\n  Their WMD will not help them as they are attacked from all sides. This may be the war that ends all wars before the Lord Jesus Christ  ( GOD in the flesh) comes back! Israel does not want anyone else to have WMD other than them in order that they control the entire region. Thats not going to happen.Israel will push for war after war until they finally get theirs, and I think its comming soon. They had better think twice about Iran because American troops are getting tired of fighting Israels wars for them. They may be surprised that they really don't have the American troops support. I will say my early good-byes to Israel in advance . And after that the world will have peace without these war mongers.

No, Israel is already the world's scapegoat for problems it has had little part in creating.\n\nWhat is necessary is a UN resolution requiring the intervention of an International police force to go in and dismantle any and all nuclear programs in Iran.  Iran should be informed that any attempt by Iranians or anyone else to interfere will be responded to militarily to the extent that is necessary.  That would leave the going to war to be their decision.  Hopefully,  they would back down.\n\nIran, an Islamic dictatorship by definition unstable and unreliable, has no right to nuclear power nor to the possession of nuclear fuel. Those who discovered and developed it would never have wished it extended to Iran.\n\nThe problem here is that the UN generally produces resolutions that are irresponsible, unjust, and politically motivated.  They tend to ignore the reality of every international situation.  It simply is an organization that is counterproductive to world peace. Of course fear of annihilation might wake up even the dimmest and most self-interested minds on the face of the earth, and many of them are apparently found in the UN.\n\nThe U.S. is only over its limit because it cannot find the political will to do what is necessary while that is still possible.\n\nThe same situation existed in the six years previous to WWII.\n\nThen the free world waited too long to react to the undeniable intentions of Hitler. As a result we counted the dead not in hundreds but in the tens of millions!  Will it wait too long again?

If I had to pick one country, I'd support an attack on Iran. Iran is ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that blatantly lends financial support to terrorists operating in Lebanon and in other countries around the globe. These terrorists pose a direct threat to U.S interests, both domestically and abroad.\n\nThe fundamentalist Iranian President has brainwashed the population into believing that the whole world is out to destroy Islam, and that leading this fight are the Americans. This, of course, doesn't make any sense, since there are millions of Islamic people currently living in the U.S peacefully.\n\nUnfortunately, the Iranians have soaked this propaganda up like fresh sponges, and they have concluded that America is "The Great Satan".\n\nIn a speech broadcast through all of Iran, and rebroadcast throughout the world, the Iranian President made a call for the destruction of Jews and the State of Israel. That sounds a little too much like Hitler for my liking. Notably, the Iranians also deny that the holocaust ever existed.\n\nIn this same speech the Iranian President Ahmadinejad declared, "Israel must be wiped off the map." This wasn't just an isolated event either; these hateful slogans are regularly used at government events to rally the people.\n\nOne of the reasons why the Iranians hate the U.S so much is that they view us as an impediment to their goals of destroying Israel. They know full well that the U.S would not allow them to destroy Israel, and so they are incapable of fulfilling this goal so long as the U.S is around.\n\nThat's why the discovery that Iran is cranking away on a nuclear development program is so scary. It's not hard to imagine that Iran would drop a nuke on Israel in a heartbeat, and probably send a few over to the U.S as well. They could never successfully invade Israel, but when you drop a nuclear bomb, it's all over in a few seconds.\n\nIran claims that their nuclear program is for "energy development only”, but I have news for you: The technology used for nuclear energy is not that different than the technology used for making nuclear bombs. Do we really want them to have nuclear reactors?\n\nThe good news is that the world powers are determined to stop Iran from getting this technology. Even countries that didn't support the invasion of Iraq have put their foot down on the Iran issue. I sincerely hope that we can resolve the issue diplomatically, but if not...

Giving Iran nukes would destabalize the entire middle east, because Israel cannot survive with an enemy with nuclear tech.  Israel will attack Iran before the year is out unless sanctions are imposed.  Why?  Israel has been invaded by nearly every country in the middle east at one point or another, and defeated them all.

If Israel bombed Iran I really doubt that there are going to be many countries supporting Israel...maybe US,yes.But thinking what would be the consequences of this attack I'm wondering if even US would support Israel...An attack on Iran would really anger Russia and China,let's not talk about the Islamic countries...\nOf course I wouldn't support Israel in attacking another country.They have done enough damage to the Middle east and someone should stop them...
