if you would ask me in personal i would say i´m european so what ever Israel may does or not, doesn´t realy affect me in any way at all so there is no need to pick a special side

From a strictly Realpolitik point of view, you might want to reconsider your position.

While the safety of Israel does not affect you in any way at all, whether or not Iranian missiles controlled by Islamist religious fanatics have conventional or nuclear warheads affects you, as a European, quite directly.

IRAN President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said European nations should stand by his country in the dispute over its nuclear programme or "suffer damages". According to an excerpt of an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine ..... In the nuclear conflict, the Europeans "should stand on the side of Iran", Der Spiegel quoted him as saying. Otherwise "they will carry the damages from that." He did not elaborate.

From his evasiveness in saying anything about himself, do not make the assumption that “Jonny foreigner” is not a Muslim.

Hey i never said that Iran having nukes could not affekt me somewere in future. “or that this should happen”
(ok right now i´m still out of range ;-) but if we do the hard real politics game (let alone personal emotions about killing millions of inocent people). this is not my personal wish or something like that... but from a cold geopolitical view a nuclear armed Iran (under state controll) is still no real threat to Europe. Every body knows who would be their prime target (btw. Europe is far away beeing only their maybe second or third target) if they really would use a nuke. hint it´s not in Europe (only during the song contest ;-) and if iran would nuke israel they would get nuked too (not only from Israel). So again problem solved for Europe (ok i admit “we” would have to buy “our” Oil from somewhere else in future).Don´t forget Iran is a very important trade partner of the EU. But again Iran should never get nuclear weapons at all.
greetings.
