Hello?  Israel is our ally.  They need nukes for protection. Iran wants to annihilate them and us.

Its more than a chance, they're actually planning on it. Whether it will actually happen or not depends entirely on the US and Israel. \n\nIran has already said that Israel should be wiped off of the face of the planet, so I suspect Israel will step up. I hope so anyways.

It's a threat. They're enriching themselves in uranium and soon will blow up Israel and ignite a world war.  I don't know why the UN is such a pussy on Iran or why Bush hasn't taken a strong action against Iran. If the Bush administration or Israel invades Iran they will have my full support. I don't hate Iranians or muslims but radical islamics are a threat to society. I hope you don't think I'm a bigot.

if we leave Iraq, Iran will invade, then we have Iran on the border of Saudi, and also Israel. Iran will invade Israel, and with Lebanon and Syria, Maybe even Egypt, they will try to push Israel into the sea, Israel will fight to the bitter end and then it will happen. Facing sure annihilation Israel will go nuclear, So now we have nuclear war in the middle east. This will destroy the world economy, Anarchy will take hold and governments will fall.

I would not call it a threat to its more like a promise.\nMaybe if Iran was to stop shouting its mouth of about the west they might get a little more respect.and Iran Attack Israel not if your soul depended on it.

First of all the U.S.  is not threatening to wipe a sovereign nation (Israel) off of the planet.  Secondly, you say you are not ignorant but may I say misinformed?  Did you know the president of Iran IS A TERRORIST!  He was involved in the U.S. Embassy Hostage taking in 1979-80.  That is an act of war when you invade an embassy.  If the terrorists ever get nuclear weapons you can kiss New York City and many American and Israeli citizens good bye.  THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS have a solemn duty to protect the U.S. and its allies.\n\nThe simple answer to your question comes down to responsibility.  That is the way of the world and it is not an issue of equality.  When people, no matter who you are, are irresponsible they have "rights" taken away.  They are ruthless barbarians that have threatened to kill as many U.S. and Israeli people as they can.  I hope this answers your question by making a distinction between responsibility and equality.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change

Isreal being attacked is one of the signs of the apocalypse according to the bible.  If it is just Iran it doesn't fit though, it's supposed to be most of the world and on top of that the anti-christ must make his appearance and declare himself God before that happens...

Absolutly.\n\nIran has already said that once they get a nuke they will destory Israel. If you look at the comments from Iran, their goal is not protection but to actully trigger the end of the world... no joke, read up on it. They want to cause a world war that will destroy the earth and bring "Allah" from heaven.\n\nThe rest of the world can not wait till this happens, because if we do nothing then Israel will HAVE to do something, and then we end up in an even bigger war because Israel will be attacked by every other arab nation for attacking Iran.\n\nChina and Russia are just causing trouble as usual because they want that oil money and the techology contracts... just like they did in Iraq.

I think we should round all liberals and ship them off to Iran.  Maybe they could persuade the islamofacist regime over there to give up their desires for nuclear weapons and to destroy Israel off the face of the earth by sitting under palm trees and singing kumbaya with the mullas until the camels come home. Maybe we will get lucky and have the Isrealies take care of the radical iranians & liberals at the same time with their nukes.  Is it just me or has every nation near Isreal threatened Isreal with destruction?  Would some one please tell me when Isreal has unjustly attacked their nation neighbor?  The absolute ignorance and attitude towards one of the strongest, most stable, techonolgically advanced country in the Middle East is just stunning.  What in the hell has Iran, Sryia, Jordan, or Lebannon provided to advance mankind?  Have any ot these countires provided any means, methods, or technologies for Humans?  Oil is the only thing I can think of and the USA had to go to them to help find, extract & refine oil.  Iran is sitting on top of the 2nd or 3rd largest supply of oil and they need nuclear power?  Use up all the oil and them you will have a major concern.\n\nI know what some of you are thinking.  What about the USA, India, and Pakistan, they have nukes!  No sh*t sherlock.  All countires with nukes has openly stated they have them & that the IAEA can freely inspect their nukes.  Iran on the other hand, has not announced their intentions and will not let the IAEA inspect.  Why even North Korea has let the IAEA inspect nukes.

I am sorry I did not understand part of your question but I can tell you that America Is not against the Iranian people.  It has serious concerns about the extremists in the government with an anti American and anti Israeli attitude that are threatening the world by attempting to develop nuclear weapons.  Let us hope this can be resolved peacefully.

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.

Of course they should, but they never will. Hamas is a terrorist organization whose soul purpose is to destroy isreal and resetablish the palastinian state. They also stand no benefit from recognizing isreal. Sure they will aid for the palastinian people from the american governemnt but they will lose all of the funding given to them from Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Nothing will happen.  Yes, that's right absolutely nothing.  All countries in that Region and many parts of the world just want to put up a perceived threat of retalliatioin of if you mess with them.  They see Isreal with Nuclear weapons, so they just want a deterant as well.  I mean run through the scenario, Iran attacks Isreal with a nuclear weapon, Isreal retaliates and deystroys Iran.  Other countries attacks Isreal again, Isreal attacks them.  These people aren't dumb.  They know that if they attack someone, they'll have severe cosequences.  India and Pakistan haven't destroyed each other yet.   And besides, as soon as the Iranians get their nukes ready, the CIA will send in a team to assinate the Iranian leaders.  (That's if Isreal doesn't get to them first).

Absolutely!  Israel is a civilized country amidst a gaggle of fanatics who don't even acknowledge their right to exist.  The land they occupy is their land, altough they lost it for 2000 years. They got their land back through the support of civilized governments and the UN. Civilized countries will continue to support their right to their home land and their right to exist. This is one more reason for the UN to hang tough on the Iran issue of nuclear power.  Iran is one country that would deny Israel its right to exist.
