I don't see how we can tell Iran that it can't protect itself against Israel.

Israel is no threat to Iran and the Iranian mullahs know that.

What? Israel most certainly could be a threat to Iran. Where is your hypothesis coming from?

Israel never threatened Iran and never had a war with Iran. Where is your hypothesis coming from?

Israel is a much greater threat to world peace than Iran.

Proof?

Israel has nuclear weapons but won't admit to it. What are they trying to hide?

Why should they admit what everyone else already knows? There would be no point in that.

If they're are so paranoid about being wiped off the face of the Earth, wouldn't they get some peace of mind by admitting that they have the bomb?

It's easier all around if they don't admit it and let others assume they do have it.  Best of both worlds and all that.

The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

Absolutely, shortly before and if necessary after all else has failed, to prevent Iran from developing usable nuke tipped missiles. And that will happen, if necessary. On that, I have near zero doubt in my mind.

If you really think there is a danger, give a shield to Israel, instead of annoying Eastern Europe with that, and let the Iranian regime becoming weaker on its own with the time, instead of risking a global mess.

This poll needs to be redone with a better question.  The way it reads now you either support bombing Iran RIGHT NOW, which is stupid, or you support not bombing Iran, presumably, for anything short of nuking NYC, which is also stupid.

Say Imadinnerjacket comes out and says "we have nukes, tomorrow we put several of them on missiles and we take out the devils in Palestine forever!"  US intel agencies have satelite images of them putting the warheads on the missiles and fueling them up.  Brit and Russian intel agencies concur.  Should we bomb Iran now?  If not, should we let Israel off the leash?
