Essentially, if the Iranian reactor isn't destroyed soon... They won't wait after they get a nuclear weapon... They'll just nuke Israel right away.
So it is a case of you might die now, but you will most certainly die later.

Does Iran really want to go there? They could very well get what they wish for, except any attack against them may not be limited to the nuclear facility. Israel would now be justified with a total pre-emptive strike agains Tehran as far as I'm concerned.

Looks like the hand just went to the holster, you think?
It IS funny, though - Shahab-3 vs. Arrow AND the Patriot? We'll tell you who won - film at eleven.

The mother of all bluster?
Sandmaggots remind me of that fish which blows itself up to look bigger and meaner.

"If Israel fires one missile at the Bushehr atomic power plant, it should permanently forget about the Dimona nuclear centre, where it produces and keeps its nuclear weapons," #1) Israel keeps its nukes in many places, and it has plenty of them (between 200 - 400).
#2) Iranian jets would be intercepted before they got even close to Israeli territory.
#3) Iranian medium range missiles aren't nearly accurate enough to hit a target as small as a reactor from that distance, and Israel's sophisticated ABM force has a decent chance of intercepting them anyway.

If it's not terrorism against random civilians, they can't handle it.

"We cannot let Iran, a leading sponsor of international terrorism, acquire nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to Europe, most of central Asia and the Middle East, or beyond," he said.
I suppose the Europe-ons will feel comfortable living under the Iranian nuclear umbrella.

I hope Israel bombs them. The Bush Admin is so hamstrung right now that it is ineffective. Kerry won't do jack, so Israel is our only hope. Something needs to happen soon, though.

Even if Iran had a nuke now, they wouldn't dare use it.
India and Pakistan both have nukes and hate each other, but neither has used the weapons. USA and USSR both had weapons and never used them. The theory of Mutually Assured Destruction wil prevent a nuclear war between Iran and Israel.
To: dead
I don't think Iran would make it to Dimona.
To: dead
General Zolqadr, however, considered that "given the internal crises in the Zionist regime and its military, security and geographical vulnerability, Israel is not capable of attacking Iran and its threats are only propaganda".
This general has not studied the history from 1948 to present very well!

NOTE TO IRAN:

To: TommyDale
Saying they would attack Isreals nuclear facilities is tantamount to saying they will destroy all of Israel with a nuclear attack. Israel should announce a deadline for Iran to at least allow international supervision of its program or an attack will commence. An attack that would render Iran incapable of any response. In other words, an all out nuclear attack on Iran. Start warming up the virgins in paradise, muhammed!

Iran wouldn't use it. It would find its way into the hands of some terrorist group. Iran would would deny any allegations that the nuclear fingerprint was theirs. After that, let the onslaught of UN resolutions begin. If Kerry is in office, he will just go along with Kofi and his band of idiots.

Iran should not take a knife to a gunfight.
