Re: Israel and the Nuclear Option
Thanks for the replies. Let me address a few of your points.
1. An air campaign by Israel is not feasable. In the 1980's Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear facilities. In order to do this their fighter aircraft had to use fuel drop tanks to achieve that range. Tehran is much further and Israel has no long range bombers.
2. Israel left Lebannon 6 years ago with a U.N. resolution that Hezbollah be disarmed and the Lebannnon deploy their military along the Lebannon/Israel border. This did not happen, Hezbollah remained on the Israeli border. Hezbollah subsequently raided the Israeli military, kidnapped 2 soldiers, and launched rockets into Israel. This is an act of war and cannot occur without consequences.
3. It is a known fact that Iraqui military personel have been training with Hezbollah in Lebannon for years. Last year I saw a CNN story where they interviewed an Iraqui commander in front of Hezbollah and Iraqui troops at a training compound on the outskirts of Beirut.
In order to fight the terrorist organizations we need to make no distinction between those groups and the countries that support those groups. The time for sticking your head in the sand and appeasing terrorists should be over. Many good men have made the mistake of doing nothing in the face of fascism. Just look what happened when Neville Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler. Time for diplomacy is over for the Muslim fascists. Now is the time to kill them all.
