Of course Islamofascists would blame Israel for such an "industrial accident," it would be a no-brainer. It would increase anti-Israeli sentiment in the Arab world if Israel was blamed, therefore Israel would be blamed.
BTT...
Law is an attribute of sovereignty.
There is no power sovereign over the world, hence, there is no such thing as international "law".
And the debate about what is "permissible" under that piece of toilet paper called the UN Charter?
Absurd.
Absurd to the tenth power.
"The filthbags now in charge in Iran make Hitler look like a 10 year old schoolgirl by comparison."
I dont know about your ratio, but they teach the exact same message that it is their duty to erradicate the Jews from the earth. Knowing history, I have no doubt other Western countries would have attacked Nazi Germany in 1935-36 before they had completed the Panzer battalions that swept through Europe.
"It is so...I was talking to several Army officers the other night, that's what they said. I spoke of Israel and they confirmed there's a real possibility that Israel will hit Iran."
Well it made national media (was it August?) that we 'sold' Israel 5000 smart bombs. They will put this to good use no doubt. Israel already has a substantial deterrent so....
"The US doesn't have to do anything. Israel will take care of this problem easily and efficiently, like they did with Saddam's nuclear facility some years ago. The Israeli air force is so far superior to the Iranian defenses that it is unlikely they will lose a single aircraft."
Maybe, but Iran learned from Osirik and has buried their major facilities deep underground.
"Of course the accusation would be made by the foaming at the mouth anti-semites the world over, nothing can stop that. It's those in the world whose thinking doesn't solely consist of "It's was the evil JOOOOZ!" I referred to."
Isn't it interesting yet sad that we have not learned from human history about our behavior? Our species must always have someone or something for our personal or collective failures.
This all started with France and that creepy Khomeini.
I didn't know the facility is deep underground. This will make it much more difficult, depending on how deep. This may be why they're reported to be planning some kind of combined air and ground assault this time.
If it comes to this, criticism will be the least of our concerns. Personally, I'd really prefer not to have anyone get bombed-- us, euro's, or Iranians. But my take on the matter is gloomy and I have concluded that something decisive will one day have to be done.
These mullahs are nuts and capable of anything. That means, we must be capable of whatever it takes to stay safe.
Indeed. What does "containment" mean, when the problem is a handful perhaps of intermediate range missiles launched from Iranian territory toward Israel, and maybe Europe, by fanatics who don't care if they get vaporized in return? What "sanctions" could possibly mean anything more than a mosquito bite to such savages?
I agree some day we will have to do something, but let the Euros sweat. Who knows they may wake up some day and do something themselves.
The West.....???
While "the West" is sitting on their ass, Israel will be removing this threat.
Can't wait to hear the DemoRats bust their spleen when it happens.
When it happens.........not "if"...........when.

An attack on the ground would likely be the only real solution. Leave the population out of it and keep the leadership underground as we restructure a new democracy around it. That is what worked with Saddam, he was still alive and claiming he was the ruler while a new government was being formed.
