Please don't bomb Iran.
Seeing as how the zionists and neo-cons in the U.S. government dragged us into the iraqi war on a false pretense ,for the sake of israel and oil, i wouldn't be surprised if they did. I'm not surprised either at how little the media pays attention to the Israeli Nuclear program.

israel will definitely eventually attack Iran, because they are Iran
Israel cannot afford to stop it's nuclear program.. We are surrounded by hatred.. and we are a little droplet compared to the size of the nations around us.. Having this weapon, which sort of "frightens".. or, well.. deters the surrounding people, is the only way we can feel somewhat safer.
Do you think you'd ever use them though? I was kind of expecting you to use them in '91 when Saddam sent his Scuds over.
What rubbish, they deter no-one, they are there only as another way of big noting themselves in the region ... how many suicide bombers have they deterred? How many missiles have they deterred? Now Iran will build a bomb to counter Israeli aggression, then Saudi Arabia will get one to counter Iran and eventually all Israel's neighbours will have them ... then what?
If Israel wants to feel safe it should end it's illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories and abide by UN resolutions.
Oh bloody hell not this again......
Don't you think it would be a bit stupid using a nuclear bomb in the territories without actually destroying half of the state (Israel that is) itself...?
It's there to deter people who want to kill thousands at a time.. not the odd 3 or 4.. (over 2006 only some 14 were killed as a result of a suicide attack.. as opposed to well over 400 in 2002..... not that that fact has anything to do with the nuclear weapons.. just a result of better intelligence).
Now, I doubt Iran is building it's "peace" nuclear powerstations to counter the Israeli "threat".. more like to piss off the Americans.. don't you think?
Israel didn't use them during the first Gulf war because the US "told them so".. it was between Bush (the daddy) and Saddam.. he shot at us because he couldn't reach the US.. Iran are using the same threat, only this time they have better rockets than those crappy Scud missiles - thus making the threat much more serious......
The weapons are there to deter. Fact.
It's just to show the people who want us down and out that hey.. we have these weapons, dunno if we'll use them, but they exist..... Depends how much you're willing to push I guess. I believe that if Israel actually felt it was being threatened, and that it would be "wiped off the face of the world", then those weapons would eventually, and unfortunately come into use.
About "feeling safe" - How the hell can you say, that leaving the "occupied territories" (I wonder if you also mean areas like the whole off Jerusalem, the south of the country, the northern areas etc.. depends if you are talking of the '67 territories or the '48 territories.. you could even go further into history back some 4000 years too.. it's up to you). Obviously you cannot accept the fact that these people will accept an agreement and not crave for more.. Trust me, it's their mentality. I'm not a racist... I really am not, but I know who we are dealing with.. I know these people, I see them daily on the TV screens, papers, PC etc.. I know them. I also know the typical Israeli.. and unfortunately, getting them both to talk is extremely difficult. No side wants to give up, every side thinks they are right, and no one will listen. It's been like this forever.. I doubt it's going to change, unless finally the Americans/Brits stop thinking about how the "peace talks" will make them look on their own press back home, and actually try to reach a long-term solution... Otherwise, the bloodshed will keep coming.. god knows how many more people will need to lose their lives until 2 people, one on each side, who rule the people's, will be able to properly interact and reach an answer...
I like my neighbors, I like the Arab food, culture.. I really do enjoy walking through the Old City in Jerusalem, through the Arab market... It's really something special, but sadly there still is a tingle in the spine as I walk those streets and alleyways knowing that there still is a slight chance that maybe someone will jump out and stab me for being who I am. I can't wait for those days to end. And when they do, I know that Palestine and Israel can live freely together and have proper tourism in the 2 states.. There is plenty to see in the west bank too (Jericho, Bethlehem...) just as much as there is to see in Israel... Then, and only then will there finally be harmony around this place where thousands and thousands of people have lost their lives over ignorance and bigotry...
