Israel’s Worst Fears

The true citizens of the Arab nations would love nothing better than to have all these terrorist organizations obliterated or removed from their countries so that they can live in peace. Hamas & Hezbulah intentionally aim for pre schools & schools, hospitals & shopping centers as well as synagogues. Israel on the other hand is aiming for the terrorists who are hiding amongst the citizens using them as shields!!!!!

To President Obama - welcome to the real world.

The only way to establish a lasting peace is through relentless dialogue. I know this does not satiate the tastes of those on any side who believe killing is the only answer but there has been enough killing and it has only made things worse. Relentless dialogue, the kind that might begin in anger and yelling but where the parties come back to the table is what is necessary to slowly build bonds of trust and mutual understanding and it takes the most courage.

To address warmongers Shakespeare had this to say:

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fevor, for patriotism is indeed a double edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war reach a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry, rather the citizenry, infused with jean and blinded by patriotism will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I???ve done and I am Caesar!??? ??? Julius Caesar.

to Gandhi 50 : The world is beginning to see the Great Lie that is Islam.................

bighappy you forgot to mention use of chemical weapons by Iran and their interesting tactic of sending young volunteers to race ahead of the tanks into the minefields to blow themselves up so the heavy equipment could push through.

Israel fear from Iran is lessen by fighting Hamas.

The issue in the Middle East is not about who has or may have nukes. And as one person posted, blowing each other up will not end the religious war. To get under the skin of the problem you have to go back to its inception. that goes back thousands of years ago. This battle that rages there is one that personifies the basic problem within the human spirit: We want to be in control. That control is driven by an ideology. The ideology is rooted in either good or evil. These two are the main culprits in our world. It will never cease until one dominates the other. Even if the Arab world and Israel ceased to exit, don't think for one moment that the conflict wouldn't raise its ugly head somewhere else between nations.

Personally, I blame the moderate Islamic society with not stepping up and stopping this senseless "turn the other cheek" approach to terrorism and extremism. It is their neighbors, brothers, sisters, and culture that are causing this unrest. I cannot honestly believe that I see no wrong in Israel bombing civilian targets... The civilians themselves need to root out this Hamas/Hezbollah/Al-Qaida/etc influence in thier society. If they didn't let the extremists use them as pawns, they wouldn't need to suffer to such a degree. I would never let anyone hide in my house or use my mosque as a storage cache for weapons to begin with!! This silly Islamic faith that martyrs somehow end up in heaven is rediculous. Islam is stupid; Christianity is stupid. If the world would get their heads out of their ass and stop being so scared of what happens to them when they die, we wouldn't have this problem to begin with. One final note, we can be certain that this situation is going to continue to escalate and worsen - the Muslim world has ZERO respect for women... our Presidents will have to understand that neither Condi Rice nor H.Clinton will ever have any persuasion in this region and no one over there will EVER listen to them...period. Iran will become nuclear soon - could have been prevented if George W had surrounded himself with people who were intelligent from the beginning. Unfortunate situation over there; very unfortunate.

Major governments disregarded the warnings given by Hitler and NAZI Germany as well, considering it mere blustering-that no sane leader or people could possibly do what they were proposing.

All the free peoples of the world should be very worried about what is happenning in Iran. Just because one US government manipulated fears of WMDs in Iraq as a means to an end doesn't invalidate the need for concern in another far more potentially dangerous part of the world. The United States will not be the only country to suffer at the hands of a nuclear armed Iran.

Since the ancient empire of Persia has shrinked to become the small country of Iran, it is time that it can defend itself from potential future aggressors by completing a nuclear program.
After all why is it that Israel only can benefit from a nuclear weapon ?
The Middle East will become much more balanced with a duopoly in nuclear defence.

Not a day should pass in which progress towards disarming Iran from ANY weapon is not considered and worked towards.
The leadership of Iran is the same as practiced on the ground by Cheezballa and Fucmas in Lebanon and Gaza respectively.
Like stray rabid dogs, the solution is one...

The earth is tiny planet in a large universe. After Iran and its Islamic friends wipe out human civilization, perhaps a new life will emerge, or perhaps all life on earth will come to an end.
In any event, unless we do something soon as a global community to try to save ourselves from the confused thinking of Islamic fundamentalism, we certainly seem doomed. It won't be long before cities start to be annihilated with atomic explosions and civilization comes to a tragic end.
