Anything Iran needs to deliver destructive weapons to the U.S. can be more easily obtained just by buying them from the Russians or the Chinese.

Now you just sit there and act like it will all go away if only we stay inside our borders and act nice.

No, I don't.

Once Iran has nukes, there’s no going back. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other nations will have to develop their own bombs.

These countries are probably well on their way to this. I would assume this is the case because any nation that values its own self-preservation would do well to develop the advanced military hardware to protect themselves. That's what sovereign nations do.

Someone has to do the heavy lifting. Do you want Russia to China to step in?

What "heavy lifting" are you talking about?

Where do you get the idea Israel is just fine with Iran having the bomb?

I never said that. I said Israel would never launch any military action against Iran that required their own troops to occupy the country. They'll just lobby the United States to do it for them, as they've been doing for decades.

Alberta’s Child, do you you have any grasp of Middle East politics at all?

What would the reaction be if Israel attacked other nations with ground troops? Any idea?

Lebanon is one thing, but Syria, Iraq, Iran..., you’d have the whole Middle East invading Israel.

The U. S. was the one that asked Israel to sit out the first Iraq war over Kuwait. Iraq was lobbing skuds into Israel, and Israel wanted to take action. The coalition we build would have disintegrated if it had.

Israel loves to rely on us? Like during the 6 day war and other wars they’ve fought against their neighbors?

You forget an awful lot in your zeal.
