even if the iranian ambition with regard to developing nuclear industry, was towards the production of something which might threaten its neighbours..... it is well known that any such capability is several years away (and thus much monitoring) and so any time line within that period is in itself, offensive.
if the thought is that israeli action would test the resolve of american 'wouldbe leaders' to fight against terror, then surely by invoking the strategy of pre-emption, these israeli exercises are justification enuff for us to move AGAINST israel are they not?
the facts:
- the israelis are rehearsing conflict sortees which have the capability to utilise WMDs against a foreign state.
- such a state has been suggested (anonymously such is its credability) to be iran.
- iran has been identified on the basis of their nuclear program, which in itself is no actual threat of any kind
- israel is acting in a destabilising and terroristic manner (terrorism meaning: the use of violence to achieve politically motivated aims)
conclusion - the US hasn't capability to win its current quagmire, without entering into a new arena. it will have no stomach for such a move by israel. and it is debatable as to whether israel has a stomach for anything more than sabre rattling.
tanks versus kids is something far removed from international conflict;
