A wise Democrat (Tip O''Neill) used to say "all politics is local". The Israelis are effectively next door to Iran, so they are more concerned about Iranian nukes than we would be. They WILL strike if we do not.

At this point, I say let the Israelis do it. The war that''s sure to follow will undoubtedly draw us in, but at least that is one less thing the left wing fanatics can pin on Bush.

It''s clear Israel would not attack Iran without US complicity. They would either get US cooperation or US approval; it''s all the same.

Don''t expect the Muslim world to expand any peace initiatives to Israel. This will set things in the Middle East back about 40 years.

No doubt, a rich-boy who still leave hash marks in his shorts. Actually, we Americans who has been screwed by the GOP scounrels and Brushwackers don''t really care. But, let me catch you on the battlefield cake-eater ... you will just simply disappear.

World War III is a reality. It''s going to happen now or later. Let World War III begin now. Let''s destroy the Middle East.

Israel''s message is simple: If you don''t, we will.

I say let Israel do it.

Especially since there is no credible evidence that the Iranian nuclear program is anything other than for civilian use. Since they are a signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation act they are entitled to develop civilian nuclear power.

Oh, Come one people, as if you knew this vile Bush administration wouldn''t persuade Israel to act on Bush''s behalf. Bush enjoys war and killing, and has even lied to the American people in order to fulfill his fetish. It won''t be Israeli troops dying folks, it will be American boys and girls sent to do the majority of the slaughtering. This will only inflame the Middle East, but it will at least be Bush''s Viagra.

"Israel Prodding U.S. To Attack Iran". Of course they are. They want Americans to die by proxy, in Iran, to mirror what they''ve accomplished in "Eye-Rack". And of course they want the certainty that comes with being able to manage the moron-in-chief, rather than actually having to make coherent arguments to his successor.

I believe in Israel''s right to exist in peace. However, for them to "push" the US to start a third war in a region where we can''t even successfully fight the two we''re in is arrogance in a high degree. If they want someone to take out Iran''s nuclear program, they should do it themselves, just like the last time. Leave us out of it.
