#3 Egypt and Jordan could tear up their peace treaties with Israel if it launched an attack against Iran.

Meaningless, expired coupons. Anyone who ever thought they meant anything (other than a USAID guarantee) was or is nuts.

#4 What is at risk if Israel doesn't attack Iran?

#5 Keep in mind that the objective of the ruling elites is to maintain Stability that includes an 'acceptable level of violence', and a related industry that provides suitable and profitable employment for its members.

That's why the Cold War went on for decades.

#6 If Israel hits Iran - its a fair bet that they will not only find themselves "at war" with all their neighbors, but they may also be shunned by many western countries as well.

It's fair to say that PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Benny Gantz face the toughest decisions that have ever confronted Israeli leaders - since the country was founded.

#7 If Israel hits the Iranian nuke sites, you can also bet Hamas and Hezbollah will enter. Israel will not hold back this time. The islamists operating in the Sinai will also likely stir up trouble for Israel.

#8 JohnQC ... those fateful words describe the next conflict. "Will not hold back this time".

The truth is that no-one in this war will be holding back this time ... including Israel, Hezbollah, Iran, AQ and various proxies. I have to imagine that the estimate that Israel will lose only "500 men" is drastically low. I also think that there's not much that's going to be left of southern Lebanon.
