Its a point that always raises my curiosity...when people talk about these busted arse countries "wiping out" cities of major regional powers.

Thats why Russia doesn't attack Australia. They are worried about us flattening Moscow....
 
Dropping bombs on John Candy is just wrong.
He was Uncle Buck, fair enough.
He is dead though.

Stupid Iran.

They will probaly use their puppets Hezbollah. Come on why should people believe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. David Duke supports Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is friends with people like Bashar al-Assad, Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales. Saddam Hussein did not respond to Operation Opera.

The Iranians bombed Osirak before the Israeli copycats.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osirak

This was during the Iraq-Iran war. That period of time when Saddam was America's puppet and couldn't afford to piss them off.

There was an international reaction to Israel's attack:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera#International_political_reaction

Iran is under no illusion that the UN will do anything to Israel or America in response to an attack. If Iran is attacked, it knows it will be bombed again the year after. And the year after that. There is no international system of defence for Iran. No law will protect Iran. Their only defence is to make an attack expensive.

So they will bomb American forces in the region. They will close the Strait of Hormuz. They might even bomb Gulf States which are friendly with America -- especially if they allow America to make use of bases in those nations.

Israel is not going to wait and see if Syria and Hezbollah get involved. Israel believes in pre-emption. So there will be a war on that front too. Hezbollah will be given permission to use its most powerful missiles. And Syria has a much, much bigger arsenal of same.

Not to mention that Russia will look really bad if its anti-aircraft system goes on failing again and again. Who would bother buying Russian high-tech arms? So Russia may feel it needs to defend its arms trade.

How happy will China be that oil trade is disrupted? Oil at 200 dollars a barrel? Even higher prices?

The world may decide that America is just too expensive and decide to make clear to PNAC dead-enders that this is not -- and has never been -- an American century.

Do Christians and Jews believe in the return of the Mahdi? That should be a clue, but then again, you're Oliver.
That said, I don't think Jews hope for or care about Armageddon. I wouldn't put it past many Christians but I think there are more Muslims pushing for the apocalypse than Christians but I could be wrong.

I think it will be Tel Aviv to be wiped out because of the Israeli Ministry of Defense being located there.

Do you fantasize about that?

Iran is responsible for its own actions. If it doesn't want to be bombed then it shouldn't be funding organisations that attack other countries; it should stop attacking foreign naval vessels in the gulf; it should tone down its rhetoric towards its neighbours; it should stop trying to develop nuclear weapons and it should maybe think about granting its citizens the civil rights that they are entitled to. Then it could complain about how the UN isn't leaping to its defense.

Note that I am explicitly not suggesting that Iran should be attacked. I am just pointing out that your attempt to portray Iran as the victim here is ludicrous.

What is ludicrous is to take my prediction as picking sides. If Iran is attacked it will defend itself. That's not portraying Iran as an innocent victim. The most I have done is say that the UN will not do anything to punish an attack on Iran. And you have not shown how that statement is wrong. (I think you imply that an attack on Iran shouldn't be punished. But I'm not sure.)

and, btw,
America funds organisations that attack other countries.

Israel attacks fishing boats in Gaza territorial waters, which Israel has unilaterally marked as 6 miles from the coast instead of 20.
http://www.sundayherald.com/news/he...s_israeli_navy_shooting_at_gaza_fishermen.php

America says all options are on the table, regarding Iran -- is that "toned down" enough?

Iran has the right to develop nuclear power and the technology that goes with it. That they are building weapons has not been proven.

And when Iran uses its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel, Israel can defend itself, yes?

Oh right, you think countries should be allowed to attack Israel with impunity. :rolleyes:

Here is my statement, Oliver and Parky76. I put my family, friends, country, and countries where I have family and friends and which I think of as my country's allies, before Iran. I don't want Israel or anyone else to bomb Iran, which I think (to paraphrase some statesman or other) would be worse than a crime -- it would be a mistake. But if inescapable push comes to unavoidable shove I know which side I am on.

You can cheer the Iranians on, if that floats your boat or makes you feel good. I disagree.

Did you mean cheer for Iran - or cheer for reality? I never said
I'm for Iran - all I say is same rights for all. A point which is hard
to grasp, I know.

But even if you don't seem to understand the OP out of personal
emotions, we're still talking about Iranian retaliation after their
nuclear facilities are being attacked. It might not even be a bombing,
but assuming that Iran will watch and look away is just absurd - no
matter where your family lives.

Fantasizing about what? TA being a possible target or the defense
ministry being in TA?

Oh, and don't forget all the Nuts who will support Israel's strike
against Iran for the sake of "Jesus's coming" while assuming that
Muslims are pushing hard.

Hmmm, wait a second, it's Iran under the mullahs doing the attacking? Sorry, East Berlin. That radio TV tower is of course a prime target. :(

LOL - I could live with that, no matter if eastern or western Berlin. And
they're used to it anyway. :boxedin:

And I don't really know concerning the Mullahs - there are a lot of influential
Iranians who say there will be retaliation, just like this guy did just recently:

SPIEGEL: And if Israel still doesn't trust your government and attacks Iranian nuclear facilities? Nahavandian: Those who attack us provoke retaliation. It would be a real mistake to underestimate Iran's desire to stand up for itself.

The Mullahs are the one's in charge, and will have quite a hand in the form of any retaliation as mentioned by the Spiegel snippet.

It is hardly news that the response to being bombed, by anyone, is not 'Thank you sir, may I have another?'

So Ahmadinejad isn't a Mullah? [Need confirmation on that for the ignorant Idiots out there]

And yes, that's the point of this thread. It's in no way anti-semitic to point
out that Iran will not laugh about the fundamentalists aggressive approaches.
 
By the way, DR: What do you expect Iran's retaliation is going to be once somebody
smashes their hope to get their energy-crisis under control?
