Regarding the Iranian threats to Israel, do you think it could be Iran's way of 'testing the world political waters'? Trying to see what the world reaction would be?

It seems to me they are trying to start a shooting war. The question is: why?

They should understand that if they launch on Israel we will launch on them. They have some kind of military agreement with Russia, maybe that's giving them the confidence to talk so provocatively.

Thought anyone?

I believe they also have the backing of Chavez, in our own hemisphere, and by extension, Castro.

You could be correct, all the Iran talk/threats, will give them an idea of who will join them, if enough do, then we will have the war they are working on.

I don't think we expected Russia, Germany and France to go against us in the Iraq war.

There is the thought that all the war talk, helps him to enroll the suicide bombers that he wants for a terrorist army, the people mean nothing to the leaders.

If Iran does not get the support of the big countries, then he will simply turn loose 40 or 50,000 insane suicide bombers on the world and still do a lot of damage.

There has to be a limit to the number of terrorists, we can watch at one time.

The old russian spies, we could catch, the insane terrorist is not going to be easy to stop.

I hope we are both wrong.
