Why create/invent drama? Hedge fund managers who speculatively trade on oil commodities want to make a bundle by creating drama. Let Iran do what they want to do and hold them to their word that their nuclear program is for generating energy only. Israel already has over 100 nuclear weapons for its defense. Let Israel deal with Iran, if she wishes to. There is no reason for US to get involved in that drama; US has enough plateful of problems at home.

It would be nice if some of the other unbroke superpowers would take some responsibility for this.

We dont get paid to be the worlds only police force.

"Russia: An attack on Tehran (Iran) is an attack on Moscow"

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151739#.TxL-2IHnvyF

"Israeli (Mossad) using false flags to attack Iran (at USA expense)

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151720#.TxL5ZoHnvyE

Why are these news stories covered in Israel but not by US media?

What you have now is a PR potential mess. What is needed now is for the United States to now gather the world community and stand as a global coalition against Iran and it's threat on oil supplies. The tie of the world economy to our oil and gas prices is indisputable. But now the Obama administration must follow the lead of George senior Bush and get this crisis to be a world community showdown with Iran and not a United States confrontation. Iran must understand that world interests are tied into the straight and in the Mediterranean. Iran must understand that if it picks a fight, it will be with the world community as a whole and NOT just the U. S. Iran must understand that it will be confronting a global community that is committed to keeping the flow of oil running in the med and that Iran can't interfere or it will face consequences from the WORLD COMMUNITY at large. Again this is a delicate P.R move so that the populations of both the United States and other countries are committed to keeping Iran at bay.

War propaganda, don't you think? Israel has 200 nukes. Iran has 0. This is war propaganda that will send our sons and daughters to die for the profits of the billionaires.

The headline on this article is a lie. Iran is not a nuclear threat. Israel has 200 nukes. Iran has 0. This is war propaganda that will send our sons and daughters to die for the profits of the billionaires.
