All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
The question is not whether Israel will bomb Iran. The question is when. The strikes MUST BE OVERWHELMING, BRUTAL and SHORT to take out the military capability of Iran completely. The recent war with Hizbullah shows the futility of conducting a war like a Nintendo game to try to minimize civilian casualties, which led to Israel's failure to achieve the only objective that counts: crushing Hizbullah. It prolonged the war unnecessarily and wasted Israel's soldiers, money, and munition. This failure to crush Hizbullah now complicates the planning for the Iran operation in two aspects that immediately come to mind: First, Israel's reduced capability to defend itself against retaliations in the aftermath of the Iran strikes because of its depleted munitions stock. Second, Iran will retaliate by getting Hizbullah to start another war with Israel and by launching all its missiles to strike back at Israel.
Israel cannot afford to piss around like they did in Lebanon because of Iran's distance from Israel (sending the army marching into Iran is not an option) and Iran's large geographical area (stupid surgical strikes are out of the question).
