Would you be upset if Iran nuked Israel?

Yes we all live in this world and we would all have to deal with the results of such an action.

I say that you are crazy.  Iran cannot have nukes, no if's, and's, or but's about it.  They have vowed to wipe Israel off the map, and a nuke would give them the means to do it, and permanently.  A weapon that deadly in the hands of insanity is just that- insanity.

Lets see....You have that crazy little monkey in Iran talking about blowing Israel off the face of the earth, Palestinians hate Israel, most Arabs hate Israel...Hmmmm...Can't imagine why Israel would want an insurance policy of 700 nukes. Really, that is a quandary. \n\nIf your neighbor is threatening you with a .45, wouldn't you feel safer if you had a bigger gun? Say a .357? Wouldn't you do anything in your power to protect your house from threats? That is what Israel is doing. Pacifism is a real nice ideal, but in the real world, when dealing with crazy people (like the Iranian monkey guy) pacifism gets you a terminal case of dead. \n\nAnd while Israel is developing all these new weapons,guess what other country benefits from that? Which helps us defend your freedom to ask questions like this.

There concerns is generated by the threat that the President of Iran has lodge at Israel that it should be wiped off the face of the map.  Why would anyone say this if they want the neighbors to feel comfortable in their goal to have nuclear energy?

Israel attacked one of our warships, and we did nothing. What makes you think we care about nukes? Besides, they're a useful bogeyman to use in negotiation with the Mideastern leaders: "If you don't play nice, we might not be able to protect you from Israel." See how that works?

This is all very convenient and farcical. You have the most belligerent nation on the planet, the only one that has used nukes in the past, the one that has the capability to destroy the world many times over, behaving like an empire telling nations what they should or should not do.\nThe assumption that other nations who may want nuclear weapons are "crazy" serves as the rationale for not allowing them to have them.\nIf you paint your adversary like a nut job bent on destroying Israel then everything you do or say will be justified.\nI don't particularly like Iran, a theocratic dictatorship, but one must remember that the primary goal of any dictatorship is to stay in power. Iran knows very well that if they would use nukes on anyone, let alone Israel, they would be wiped off the map.\nThe same reasoning was valid for Saddam's Iraq.\nThe last thing a fledgling dictator like him could have wanted was to create a case for being removed. That's why the alarm by the US govt that Iraq was a threat are ludicrous.\nBut people get easily drunk on propaganda.

I agree with you.  I'm waiting for Israel to take out that Iranian nuclear powerplant.  They did it before.

My thought is that Israel will attack Iran if it continues it's drive for nuclear weapons.  But it will attack beforehand, not after they have nukes (they attacked Iraq in this manner years ago).\n\nJMorritz asks why Israel is not treated as a rogue state, so I'll answer that.  Israel has never intentionally targeted innocents (as opposed to Arab terrorists, who actively seek civilian targets such as markets and busses).  Israel is willing to establish diplomatic relations with any Arab in thNation, however few are willing to return such an offer.\n\nYou want to know how bad things are for Israel?  Despite bordering no European nation, the international soccer association (FIFA) has Israel classified as in Europe, because countries in the nearby area refuse to play them.  You think that's Israel's wish?  Nope.

no......\nI am 54 year old American Male.\nI don't have deep visceral hatred of Middle East.\n\nI think our country should devote as much energy towards energy independance as we did to create atom bomb in ww2.\nThe sooner we don't need thier oil the better.\nThen they can go back to the 7th Century.\n\nBut if Iran nukes Isreal then its game on and the world will be worse for it.

If Bush attack Iran think of destruction of USA begin and Israel would be wiped out of the map.  What was the result of summer war between Hezbollah and Israel.  Did Israel win the war.   If any of the nation attack iran, every muslim in the world will declare war against them.  Each and every muslim will act as Hezbollah.

Your damn right they do...and no... they are not right. They are trying to pull a north korea.. *sses\n\nAdditional details. \nI agree with booksbadram that they wnt to build a weapon in order to have a bargaining chip at the table, but also, because they really don't like Israel having them either. Because of the Holocaust Israel has a very good reason not to trust their neighboars, specially when many leaders in the middle east are anti-semetic not to mention anti christianity. To each its own I say, but Israel has no intentions of anexing iran, egypt or any other country for that matter. They have plenty to deal with Hamas and the paleastineans, however they feel (and they should) the need to be prepared in the event of an attack from any of these countries. Believe me, I am not a fan of this whole israel/palestinea situation, but until the paleastenians stop resorting to terrorism, I am going to side with Israel. \nAs for Iran, having an a-bomb would make for great publicity  within their population and would contribute to their propaganda against the west, but who is to say that were tey able to make a bomb they would not provide it to terrorists?   I can guarantee you that if Israel sees any hint of this happening, they will launch a pre-emptive attack, because they are more than likely one of the targets. Anyway, Iran should not be allowed to have an a-bomb period.

If Israel Nukes Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iran.  If anyother country becomse a threat then nuke them too.\n\nAnd Carpet bomb the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.\n\nBut this will never happen but it is the only way that it would happen

Iran should be nuked but better if they should be warned first to make amends to their nuclear arms program.

I think he has no right to attack Iran because they want to use nuclear source.  If they did want  to have nuclear energy  and weapons their country should have the right to  defend themselves if it was ISRAEL that was doing this there would be no problem and they already have nuclear weapons at Iran.The weapons part  situation should be look over and watch put I believe that we should not have the right to  say you can not  have nuclear energy or weapons.To allow to defend themselves and they may be using it nuclear for power or energy that is what they are saying they are doing.The one thing that bothers me is that Israel can do these things and the other middle east country cannot that is not fair that is saying we can do it and you cannot.

Will Israel Strike Iran? I f they feel threatened enough, Yes. They have never  been one to wait and see. Will they use the Nuclears? Not unless they are hit with Nuclears first. Israel has had Nuclear Capability since the 70s.\nWill Iran strike with Nuclears?  No,because they then would be a target for retaliation from the U.S.\n\nWho is the threat ? North Korea, their economy is in the tank,  Their leader  is delusional and wants to rule the world. Their leader doesn't seem to care whether  the populace lives or dies.     What have they got to lose?

Absolutely not....\n\nIf drawings can work them up to a murderous frenzy..Imagine what would happen when they possess nuclear weapons...\n\nAnd as for Andrewdoane...you are wrong..\n\nThe governments of Muslim countries WERE condoning the violence....Heck..the President of Iran was happy about it..and sponsored a contest for the best "I hate Jews" comic strip....followed by threats to wipe Israel off the map should he ever possess nuclear weapons..wink.wink..\n\nAnyone with any sense knows that a zealot government with nuclear weapons marks the beginning of the end for all of us...
