Do Israel need to seriously consider going to war with Iran?

February 16, 2010 01:21

OK so fair play the president of Iran 'Mahmoud Ahamdinejad' has said some threatening things - but can a guy that wears a 1980's style blouson jacket with pride to be taken seriously?

OK Israel are talking about Iran gaining a nuclear bomb, which is now inevitable, but Israel has quite a few that are not officially recognized - and after what Iraq went through is it any wonder countries want a deterrent from America invading them at will (even if it is Israel's desire that they do).

The middle east is already teetering on total meltdown, the last thing that region needs is another war, as Torah and Islam both teach 'eye for an eye' - it's only going to lead to endless strife and lack of peace.
After the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan America couldn't sanction another war - and with a much larger land mass and army population - Israel could suffer considerable damage (that's even without adding the nuclear element which would most definitely wipe Jerusalem off of the map).
