Usually I am not a big fan of Israel. But I can't wait for them to blow Iran's nuclear capabilities away.

What's Iran thinking? Didn't they see Isreal blow up Iraq's reactors in the 70's? (or was it 80's) Reactors are huge buildings with big X's on the roofs that say send missle here.

I can only hope that if Israel is stupid enough attack Iran that the U.S. stays the hell out of it.

What does Israel have against Nuclear Power?

Its a clean, efficient, carbon neutral, and safe source of energy.

Factoid: Your average coal power plant pumps more radioactive particles into the atmosphere than a nuclear plant.

And look at the Iran protests plummet...

stuhayes2010: But I can't wait for them to blow Iran's nuclear capabilities away.

Why?

Israel has nuclear power and nuclear weapons.

Why can't Iran have nuclear power or nuclear weapons?

This is 60 year old technology.

Too bad Mousavi will be making a visit to the nuclear site just as the missles are hitting.

How silly. Don't the Israelis know that the best course of action is to start a campaign on Twitter, encouraging users to change the color of their profile pictures? Now THAT will cause some real change.

Well, no one should have them, including us. But especially people that will most definately use them. Even if they don't use them, they will export the bombs to those who will.

Wow! This is completely unprecedented! Surely the Iranians will get the message now.

just a quick FYI... last summer when we were threatening to do the same to iran they spent millions of dollars strike-hardening their nuclear "research" sites

so, now they have tons of strike hardened buildings and bunkers that will take 10 times as much effort to damage thanks to 140 dollar a barrel oil and all the profits iran was able to collect from it

btw, its missile...

not that it matters... Iran may just glow in the dark if Israel gets pissed

I agree with Israel's sentiments, but not with these actions.

With the political turmoil in Iran, this is the worst kind of ammunition for the existing government to use against people who genuinely want some change.

You do realize you can create weapons grade uranium without a reactor, right? They have an assload of centerfuges enriching uranium as we speak

Be careful. Now you (and the whole world) think Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons. However, sometime in the future, evidence may be found that Iran was not. At that time, the backbiting liberal media and conspiracy theorists (with perfect 20-20 hind-site) will forget any evidence, any UN resolutions, any consensus of nations based on the information at the time. They will just call you a cowboy, say you committed crimes (like intentionally lying to the congress, or the UN), and they will ask for your head.

I think the argument is that the people running the government of Iran at this time are a batshiat crazy death cult, and allowing them to possess weaponry that can wipe out millions of people and make large tracts of land uninhabitable for centuries is generally a bad idea.

Nothing like blowing up a church, hospital or school to get your point across, AMIRITE?!?!

So, by your rational, should we just give them a few, just to level the playing field?

Just let them kill each other since they can't stand living on the same planet. Seriously, what's to save? Just build enough seating for a billion people in the Sahara, place the entire population of Israel and Iran at either end, and give them enough weapons to annihilate them all. The ticket sales alone for this event will solve world hunger, global warming, and still have enough to put the entire population of China on Mars (they like red anyway). Then you can have The Red Planet vs. The Blue Planet Wars.

But Pakistan's possession married with constant political unrest means US dollars, politics and attention must be spent on that situation. Oh wait...Iran has all the same problems, but a worse government.

And I do think we should give Iran some nuclear weapons. First of all, it would be the best thing since civilization to come out of that nuthouse. Secondly, it would level the playing field, literally.

You guys really assume that the Iranians are a batshiat crazy death cult, I don't believe it.

If they were, why wouldn't they have started WW3 already?

If they really wanted to they could have sent chemical weapons to Israel. If blowing up Israel is their goal, they could have done that years ago.
