Iran and Israel

Reaver · 10-29-2005, 09:24 PM

I'd actually love to see Iran attack Israel. At least then we wouldn't have Iran to worry about any more. Anyone who attacks Israel invites their own destruction.

I'm with scaeagles and Reaver on this one. Its been a balancing act in the M.E., ever since the formation of Israel as a sovereign nation, with the U.S. and the world community trying to keep everyone from killing each other. Not that its done that much good, IMO, but it's "stable" in its own peculiar way.
We are all used to the typical rhetoric we get from the terrorist groups over there, but when the leader of a country does it....
I think Irans' president is trying to provoke Israel in to action, with the hopes that other Muslim countries will join in with them when Israel attacks.

Man, that would not be good. But I think that Israel would be well within its rights to take that statment as a imminent threat, and act accordingly.

The Middle East is going to explode- it's a foregone conclusion, and only a matter of time. Any state that messes with Israel deserves what it gets.

Very true. We (the US) can sit on them for only so long until they get pushed too far. Then it's going to be YEARS of payback, all at once. And Israel will become a much larger country,methinks, after the dust has died down.

That's probably why Syria told Iran to shut up..........

Curious - what do you think, then, of Isreal giving back the territories that they seized during various invasions of their country?

I did not agree with the decision, primarily because it may harm Israel from a strategic standpoint, and it will not stop the attacks. Nothing short of total destruction is going to appease the countries surrounding Israel, and then they will just return to bickering and infighting amongst themselves again. (Look at Syria and Lebanon).
