Is is not true that the whole of the Middle East should have been nuked years ago?

Years ago? how about centuries ago. Even Robin of Loxley (our hero Robin Hood) fought in our own holy war against the Muslim Turks. He knew the difference between right and wrong. Just look what he did with Maid Marion. Friar Tuck also once said "Kill those pesky goo goos".

A long time ago.  And we haven't dropped any H-bombs on anyone.  Are you confident that certain other governments would show the same restraint?

The best thing to do about the middle east is to just wait. There killing themselves off faster than the U.N. forces are!

If that was the goal, they could have done it long ago.  No, the Israelis want nothing more than to live in peace and prosperity with all of their neighbors, including going so far as to create a new country out of their own land for the palestinians.  Unfortunately, this desire is completely one-sided.

Of course they have, it is a proverb in Middle East, when people want to say something is really full they say it is like Israel Nuke Warehouse.\nIsrael has the most advanced army of the world.\nBut using them for protection is a little funny(Politely saying) idea, imagine if they launch a nuke to Lebonan, all of them will die from radiation.\nIts for power equation and to fear Arabs not for military use.\nIsrael gained enrichment technology many years ago and before that US gave them enriched Uranium and Plotonium they need.

yes i do think that way coz it is mail&#92;nly wanting the oil found in the middle east. n also that an estimation proves that after 30 years to cum, there will be no oil anywhere around the world. therefore the US is trying to put its policies on the midle east to get the oil from them!!!!

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

Palestine... there is no such place.  If Saudi Arabia, Egypt or other Arab neighbors WANTED there to be a Palestine... there would have been one prior to 1948.

Kinda, yes.  If the military was used to its full potential, the Mid East would be a wasteland by now.  It is limited and hampered by political interests.  In terms of power, our military is unstoppable.  If we were to ignore all political interest, our military is frighteningly powerful.

Nah, it wasn't oil.  That's probably the most overworked cliche.  If it had been oil we'd have complete control of all the oilfields by now and that's not happening.\n\nSome part of it might have been left over grudges from the first Iraq war, but I suspect that combined with George Bush #2 getting some justification for finishing things, like the overreaching for weapons of mass destruction, was all it took.\n\nThe real reason I believe had more to do with Israeli security than anything else.  Iraq represented the biggest threat to Israeli security and pressure by Israel on the US may have had something to do with it.\n\nOther than that, Bush may have deluded himself into thinking that God told him to do it. Bush may be on a sort of "religious" conquest in his own mind.\n\nOne of these three possibilities may have been the prime motivator, or some combination, but I doubt very much if oil had anything to do with it because events subsequent to the invasion do not support that theory.

OK, what I say here is what I think, I will try to give facts to prove it but anyways it can be completely wrong.\nI think US will not tolerate a Nuclear Iran not because Iran will use nukes against anyone(They are not that insane) but because a nuclear Iran will collapse all power equations of Middle East.\nArab world will be at full time terror (You must know that Iranians are not Arab and  don't have good relationships at all with Arabs of Persian Gulf) and you must know that these Arabs are allies of US.\nIran can be strong enough to force US out of Persian Gulf and this in not what US can tolerate. it also shake the Israel really hard.\nIran claim that they are doing a peaceful nuclear thing is 100% correct but if Iran would be able to do all the enrichment process it can use it to make a nuke and US has given blueprints for a nuke to Iran itself for God knows reason, US have claimed that they have given the wrong blueprints to Iran but they are aware that Iranian have good researchers(Most of them have degrees from US)\nAnyways I don't think a WWIII like previous WWs take place because Nuke countries are affraid of each other more than they can simply invade each other, next WW will be an economic one and it has started already, its between China and US and China is doing better till now.\nLast of all I want to remind you that Iran and Israel have  relationships, maybe they are not allies but they have same enemies and benefits and lot more, till now they only have yelled at each other, no more than that, Iran nuclear program has been in process for 40 years, if Israel wanted to attack them they could do it at the same time they do it in Iraq, after Iran-Iraq war when Iran was at it worst military point not now that they have bought lots of Russian equipments which I will tell no more.

If I remember right, the middle east somewhere.  But even in the times that was written that was no great stretch.  The middle east, all the way back to biblical times, has been a hotbed of strife and war.

yes it seems that way some people are naive enough to think it almost over but some of the leaders involved are too arrogant to see where it is headed so they wont back off and at this point I would say the middle east in general and definately the US most of the other nations are too chicken or to underpowered to make a stand but if things get worse they might like the US ignored the holocaust until they hit our backdoor

I'm not sure on your facts, but I do believe Israel is just as mush to blame as Palestine over the violence taking place there. Israel should have never been formed without consent from the people who were living in the region already. If the Ottoman Empire had kept up with western Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, there never would have been such a strong European presence in the region, the Zionists could have never pressured European leaders into forming the Israeli state, and there would be one less problem in the world.

No.  The entire process was doomed from the beginning.  Besides the fact that the operation was poorly planned and executed, the people of Iraq have too many long standing ethnic/religious differences.  Just like eastern Europe under the Communist regimes, these differences were quelled by the strong-armed rule of Sadaam.  We are dreaming if we think that we will force middle eastern people to become like us.  They will not accept our religion or our western values.   They will have to work it out themselves with our support, not our intervention.

I would think so.  If you look at Iraq & Afgahnistan both occupied - you will see the two major borders of Iran.  I say that Iran was the main objective all along.  I also believe that this needs to be done.  Iran is bulding nuclear weapons under peoples lives in the city and openly telling the whole world that it is to be used on us and our allies.  They are not looking for peace - they are looking to settle their anger.  Iran isn't the beautiful country it use to be back before 79.  It is a place ran by crookit people who have had too much power placed in their hands and over power the rest.  It is a country that has a population of 75% under the age of thirty who also want us to go in.  Anyone of the country that has spoken against the government have been killed or hurt.  People live under constant fear - and that is the truth. Some act as though they are fine about living that way, but those are the first of ignorence.  They are usaully the ones that came against the Shah - and deep inside live with the regrets.  Yes - the time has come.
