That's exactly what I thought. They want to do a "preemptive" strike. Wonder where they learned that from.

Oh, I remember now. They learned it from their biggest ally. The same ally who taught them how to use fear mongering by throwing the word "terrorist" around.

Well we don't know what Iran is doing. Testing their missiles is being construed by some as preparing for war.

Isn't it the job of a prudent government to be prepared to defend itself? Shouldn't Iran be preparing to defend itself if Israel is preparing to attack it?

Quote:
Given the nervousness ofthe world community over Iran's nuclear program, why don't the abandon their enrichment program and simple agree to purchase the nuclear fuel needed for power plants from other countries like Brazil did for some time?

Because that's economic standover tactics that are completely unfair and against the doctrines of free trade? How is it appropriate for other countries to dictate that a country cannot produce something it needs itself but must buy it internationally? Imperialism of the highest order.

Sometimes I start to feel like a history teacher on this site. In 1981 Israel bombed Saddam Hussein's nuclear facilities. 1981. 27 years ago. That was a few years before the US invaded Iraq. So if anyone wants to insinuate that Israel learned to preemptive strike from the US they might wish to read a little more history on the subject.

Iran has openly stated they desire to annihilate Israel. Is Israel to wait until a nuclear missile is launched at them before they defend themselves? Is that what liberals are suggesting?

It appears that is what Israel is doing.

Because Iran has been threatening Israel with annihilation. If Australia was enriching uranium for nuclear power do we think anyone would be concerned?

Attack is not defense. Iran does not have a nuclear capability - US intelligence reports clearly say so - and is years away from getting one. There is zero grounds for any attack on Iran. Words are not grounds for attack.

No-one is suggesting Israel should wait until it is attacked. But there is no attack planned or pending. Therefore if it attacks itself, it is not acting in defense but in aggression.

The Bush Administration has told Israel that they (Israel) would have to produce more evidence before they (Bush Administration) would support an attack. So as of right now, the Bush Administration is saying there is not enough evidence to allow Israel to attack Iran.

The Bush administration has also said they will support their allies and that there shouldn't be any confusion about that. I'm confused.
