I can only ask you all for patience. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO PREPARE A WAR AGAINST IRAN YET!
This is STILL the time to negotiate, debate and prepare a mood of support for an armed conflict against Hitler´s grandson. I completely trust our leaders, namely Blair, Bush, Merkel and Chirac that they are not going to sell out our security. They will act when it´s necessary.
But first, let´s go out and tell our friends and neighbours, our parents and children, that Iran is led by a mad man who would do anything to wipe Israel from earth. A man, who would rather die and "end up in paradise with x virgins" than allow Christians or Jews their ways of life. Let´s prepare a feeling of readiness, so that our leaders will not be stopped by a public pacifist opinion when actions should be undertaken.
So please stop talking about a coming war now. Iran will be stopped, I´m sure. Just let´s go step by step!
I don't. I can't, and neither can you. Nobody is perfect, and nobody can know exactly when is the "right time". (Just before Iran develops the ability to mass produce nukes? Just before Iran can sell secrets to al Qeada? Just before the missile hit Tel Aviv?) Let's just pray that the "when it's necessary" label doesn't cost another several thousand lives (if not millions).
I seem to remember that many, many Brits "TRUSTED" Neville Chamberlain too. I remember the crowds wildly cheering as Mr. Chamberlain waved that piece of white paper when he got back to Britain.
Iran would use any and all time remaining to negotiate in bad faith. That's been their pattern, and they've employed it with considerable success. Why change now? We can't afford to allow them to strike first. They're developing MIRV's with rockets capable of reaching the EU and US interests, carriers in the area, etc.. Even if they don't attack the EU next week or next month, they will blackmail the West into submission. All it takes is one example, one hapless country nuked out of existence, and Israel is handy. How fast do you think France, among others, will run up the white flag?
