File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Couple of points to consider:
1) Israel has a long and proven record of having this nuclear arsenal as a deterrent without ever using it even during the worst wars against arabs when it looked like we were on the verge of loosing the war.

2) Ahmadi and the Humeinys TM repeatedly and frequently publicly declare that Israel should be anihilated.

3) Putting 1 and 2 together gets me to 3

3) I think in order to preserve our previous deterrent advantage we should now use some nukes on Iran. this will have the following advantages:
We will at the same time bolster the perception that when pushed against the wall and betrayed by our closest ally we will use our weapons.
Since we will only have one chance to attack the Mullahs, turning their nuclear sites into pools of melted radioactive glass will ensure that they cannot reinstate their program for the next few years. This will also serve as a good reminder to all other arab states in the neighbourhood that they dont realy want to start their own little "civilan nuclear energy programs".

Sounds horrible ? Well, thank Bambi and the Euro-Eunuchs for making this the only logical solution for Israel.

Do I sound selfish and cruel ??? - certainly, but I prefer this than the inevitable Irani warhead flattening Tel Aviv ( and after that some European and US cities).

When you give a Monkey a tomigan and teach him to shoot dont be surprised when the air around you gets full of hot lead. And if that happened the only reasonable solution is put a slug through the monkey's forhead.
Religeous fanatics and nuclear weapons creat a very explosive mixture.

#2 A prominent pro-Israeli US journalist complains in a column that the US-led sanctions against Iran are not potent enough and Tehran is 'hardly isolated.'

The sanctions are a way of doing something without accomplishing anything. A PC way of dealing with a problem.

#3 The sanctions are a way of doing something without accomplishing anything.

Should have said: The sanctions are a way of appearing to be doing something without doing or accomplishing anything.

Sanctions end up being a prelude to war.

#4 If the next use of nukes is by a western country, it will legitimize their use as a weapon in conflict. This will ultimately redound to no one's benefit. Best to keep this genie in the bottle. Plenty can be accomplished with existing conventional weapons.
