It recalls me a fun: a lean and thin man was quarreling with a strong guy, and after a while he was asking the surrounding people to stop him-otherwise he would beat the strong guy heavily. If Israel has that might why does it continue to declare air attack year after year? Because, Israel is smart enough to understand the consequence. USA has already burnt its 10 fingers to fight Iraq & Afghanistan, keeping none to be burnt more. So, the year 2013 will pass without any air-attack on Iran by Israel. The chaired western journalists will not stop analyzing how Iran is going to repent, bla..bla..bla.

Also, I meant to add: the reason there is not mention of the “wipe Israel off the map” idea, is because most writers now know that that was a lie.

On the off-chance you are still looking at this page:

Re: “Wipe Israel off the map”

Check wikipedia: Ahmadinejad, Israel

You will be able to discern that the “Wipe Israel off the map” is a big lie. Given that you see that, then remember how much has been built on that lie, and you will see that the anti-Iran BS is a house of cards.

The genocide you are talking about could well be the Iranian people.

The author of the article is too innocent. He is unaware these points on the consequences of an attack on Iran a) The American, European, Chinese, Indian, (including the author) man on the street will pay $15 for a gallon of gasoline. No end in sight for lowering in prices. Chaos all over the world. Strategic reserves wont help. President of the United States will be overthrown. Alternatively the President might seize power and declare himself as a military dictator (no this is not a fantasy, it will happen) b) A million Osama bin Ladens will spawn from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Saudi and other countries and the Americans will spend the rest of their careers defending themselves/ fighting against these guys which will be futile. c) The people of Egypt will close the Suez canal. (the “western allies” will not force open the Suez. America will be helpless because China will have expansion program in the Pacific. California has to be defended). Europe will choke due to the Suez closure. Taking a cue from a closed Suez canal, Russia (near monopoly supplier) will hike the price of natural gas exports to Europe by 10 times. Europe will be dead. Russia will invade Europe. d) Iran’s retaliation will be terrible. Besides firing missiles on petroleum assets in the ME, it could down hundreds of enemy passenger civilian airliners in the ME. Even today daily there are over 30 American passenger airliners passing over its airspace. And America has already set the ball rolling in 1988. e) Regarding viability of Israel, you judge.

Any talk of war with Iran is A BIG BIG UNASHAMED BLUFF, HUMBUG. It is only promoted by armchair journalists, fraudsters, conmasters, some politicians. Not by the western military. There will be no war with Iran even in the future. Even if Iran develops the bombs. Iran might already have the bombs – from next door Pakistan. Which is why there THERE IS NO ATTACK EVEN TODAY. The world is too much entwined in trade and technology, smaller countries like Iran are not afraid of “world powers” anymore.

The Hezboallah & Gaza terror crew rains small and medium caliber artillery on civilian targets in Israel, according to the uninformed, is ok. If Israel fights back then they are US supported bullies and terrorists, and an apartheid rogue state. I guess everyone awaits when these Arab/Persian backed terror groups launch an Iranian made nuclear weapon and harm millions in Israel. It’s very disturbing to see all these people here rooting for this to happen. All this energy would be served better if they questioned the governments that focus on creating such tragedies rather than helping their people live better lives.

I see a lot of invested responses. But I have not seen one mention of the fact that this Iranian regime has openly said they want to wipe Israel out. How can that be ignored when they seek nuclear weapons? No other nation that I know of that has them has made any such statement. It’s not a matter of world manipulation, nor yet another mindless conflict, it’s a matter of averting a genocide. Wouldn’t you seek to keep your people from extinction? I do not know if the Iranian regime has popular support, or not. But since they cannot, or will not put sensible people in power, people that can be negotiated with, then that regime must be removed or the entire world will be victimized in the same way as WWII.

@Sassan31: your comment about “anti-Semites” is ridiculous and uninformed. Thinking that present day Israel has become a nation of arrogant idealists does NOT mean that we are anti-Semite. We just want Israel to take a reasonable approach to its neighbors, not one of arrogance and chest pounding. It is not Semitism that one should be against but, rather, arrogant acts that detract from a lasting peace in the Middle East. The Israeli government has become just as arrogant and dangerous as the government of Iran. The only difference, at this point, between the two countries is their religions.

If the US has some credibility left in the eyes of the world, it will be lost if they let themselves into the conflict.

It is incredible how Israel can manipulate the US, and it is humiliating for the vast majority of US citizens to be used this way.

US military has stated in the past that they can live with nuclear Iran, as they could live with the USSR.

Nuclear Iran is not a pleasant idea for anybody. But neither is nuclear Israel, Pakistan, India etc.

Iran has the tacit support of all people who abhore the god-given rights of Israel and US to manipulate the world, and to decide who is a bad guy and who is the good guy.

@Sassan31:

You don’t sound like any Iranian I’ve talked to, not Iranians living in the US or native Iranians. Some of them don’t like Ahmadinejad, but none of them had the “imperialist apocalyptic regime occupying Iran” story.

And, how does the “anti-Semites” issue come into your post. You sound like an imposter to me.

To me, and I don’t imagine I am very alone, this is a despicable article from an evidently incredibly self-righteous man, filled with unjustified assumptions, or from a crazy person.

I don’t expect you, Serwer, to change any time soon, but please take into account that there are lots of people who are going to be furious at the war-mongers, if we have another unjustified, liar-promoted, war. Israel is the problem, not Iran, and this is being increasingly recognized throughout the world, even in the USA.

As a toe-the-party-line psychiatrist friend confided to me a couple of months ago: We have a problem with Israel. This is middle American talking.
