Remember Brzezinski was a top candidate to become an official advisor to President Obama,till charges of his anti-Israel attitude would damage Obama at the polls.

He was the National Security Advisor to one of the weakest President of all time.. who planned Operation Eagle Claw which resulted in the failed attempt to free the US hostages in Iran...

No one should take his comments seriously....but since we are talking hypothetically.........I would have to say If Israel try's to fly over Iraq to bomb Iran ...we should shoot our ally's planes down for fear that Iran will not talk to us if we don't . (!)

Jpero, WSC is not 100% accurate .... To say "the enemy seals off roads and areas of access and alienates themselves in a way that is offensive?"  is not completely accurate ...

There is no requirement of international law that a state be required to admit anyone. Gaza is no longer the territory of Israel. . . Israel has a right to blockade and close it's borders to those that attack it.

..and what I find offensive is a group who use young boys and women as suicide bombers to blow-up civlians and innocent people ...

Slim -

Israel has expanded its territory a great deal since it was given the land. As WSC said the people who OWNED the land were never asked about giving it to Israel.

Did the Native Americans fight Americans back in the day when we were stealing their land or am I misremembering that also?

Slim,

To those in the region, the roads which are closed and areas blocked off, they dont consider that to be LEGAL or MORAL since they had no say in the subject.

So it is even WORSE than I am saying, and much worse than what you can imagine.

Also, I notice your Carter slams and I think you have it completely wrong, BUSH has Carter lapped 10 times, Reagan was much much worse, not even close if you ask me, but especially to the Middle East.

 Not slams, just one slam.... Ziggy was the one who planned Operation Eagle Claw. But Obama's actions so far in the terms of foreign policy and leadership does seem to rival fmr.Pres.Carter's.
 
But we are drifting off topic....I will agree with you we should make it very clear to Israel, that any attempt to bomb Iran will not be tolerated..and met with severe consequences ...

Would agree 100% with that.  Their security concerns should take priority over our economic ones... no matter how much it would hurt.

This is just the typical "verbal threat" give me a "physical reward" for not doing it.
 
If they happened to actually try to do it, what do you think would happen to Iran? Would Russia or China back such an action?  Seriously Iran is pulling strings and people are buying into it.
 
We are FAR more likely to see another war based on what Israel ACTUALLY DOES rather that what Iran SAYS they are going to do.
 
If Israel launches an attack/raid/call it what you will, guess who would suddenly back Iran... yep... Russia and China (and others).

 israel fights dirty and goes back on their agreements?  please educate me on this one. israel fights for their survival in every battle or war that they fight.and the only reason why the arabs want them out of there is because the arabs are racists, sexists and homophobes not wanting any real western influence or culture or any other type of religious influences except islam.

israel has reacted strongly in the past because that is the only language that those people really understand. you are talking about hamas and the plo who are BRUTAL BULLIES.  the israelis are not brutal people, but if brutality is what it takes to insure their survival, then so be it. 

i think you are seeing things backwards; you need to do some more research and I think you will see things in a different light. 

That being said, do you now see the reason why israel must take out the iranians?  

 



Very well put..

ok, I read this piece from 4 yrs ago and it confirms exactly what I have said. 4 yrs later they are using the same verbal threats they used then.   If Israel attacks, Iran will go from a regime on the verge of change to a solidified regime united to "defend" itself against the attacking evils.

Do any of these "ways" that you speak of, involve denying Iran a nuclear weapon? 

Or is it just code for allowing religious fanatics with a death fantasy access to nuclear weapons?

But while Iran continues their rhetoric, they also continue to move forward every day on their Nuclear ambitions. 
There is wide disagreement among intelligence officials on just how soon Iran can put a Nuclear Warhead on a Missile, but Israel will not wait to find out when that day is.


This didn't get a lot of publicity a couple of years ago, but again, Israel will not wait if it feels itself threatened.

you're kidding, right? some fossil fuel?  That happens to be the worlds energy source, disrupt that and watch most of the world immediately fall into chaos.  If that fossil fuel went away tomm., we would lose the majority of the worlds population in less then a year

so that silly fossil fuel is at the heart of all countries safety and security

Some people in this thread think it's a video game. It's not.
Russia, China and the Muslim world will join the "fun", you may even see NATO dissolve - member states acting on their own etc.
Attacking Iran is a bad bad idea.

Guess the person don't care as there's something about a collective suicide in Judaism (was told this by an Israeli professor who talked about previous wars where Israel was on the brink of destruction).
