#2 the Iranians would immediately start building the bomb
Kind of tough to do when your nuclear facilities, many of the nuclear scientists, and perhaps most of Qom are smoking radioactive craters.

#3 The icing on top of this cake-of-insanty is the fact that ElBaradei is in the position he is in. The rest I understand, even though it is irrational.

#6 Yes, it would be insane. And it would throw the region into an even bigger uproar than already exists. But is that worse than what you get with an Iran equipped with nukes? Note that not just the Israelis, but the Egyptians and Saudis are concerned about nuclear mullahs in Iran.

In the real world, your choices are not always between good and bad outcomes. More often, it is between worse and worser.

#7 "It would be completely insane to attack Iran," ElBaradei said.

Wonner wat he has to say about the endless drone and chant of the Mooslim world for the.... attack and destruction of the State of Israel? Is that an "insane" concept as well?

#8 No, Besoeker, because that is just calling for killing Juices and Juicesses, which is ok these days.

#9 ISRAELI MIL FORUM > ISRAEL: IRAN CLOSE TO DEVELOPING NUCLEAR ARMS. It has the capacity to do so, within one year or less, but is no quick/immediate rush to do so at this time.
