Israel does not have any power in the UN.<BR/><BR/>3) because it would be a stretch for Israel militarily, and because the fallout (literally and figuratively) would be much worse for Israel. The reality is, if Israel does the attack, the whole Arab world will attack Israel. <BR/><BR/>Why did you ask?Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139581373795658862006-02-10T14:22:00.000+00:002006-02-10T14:22:00.000+00:00I agree Von Schlict.

And it would be too dangerous for the US and Europe to allow it.<BR/><BR/>I grew up during the cold war Denmark. I was a professional in the armed forces and we had one enemy: The USSR and its vassal states. We trained with NATO forces time after time and we took the threat seriously. But also we and our adversaries knew that nuclear war was simply not a solution. In Denmark we thought a war would last all of 20 minutes. Thereafter Denmark would have no real military capabilities after several strikes by nuclear bombs. In fact Denmark would practically be gone. Pure madness and that even not considering the doomsday weapons.<BR/><BR/>But we, thank God, had a rational enemy. The button was never pressed.<BR/><BR/>Now imagine a Hitler "enhanced" by religious madness. Give him a button and wait for next time he throws a fit? <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I miss the safer world of the USSR and the cold war.<BR/><BR/>I think France does also. That is why the French president is warning now.von Schlichtningenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836637221322397027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139550225609799442006-02-10T05:43:00.000+00:002006-02-10T05:43:00.000+00:00I'm with you, Christine.

I'm actually glad to hear that you say, your gut is in a knot for the first time in your life, because, mine is too, although, I admit, this is not my first time.<BR/><BR/>;-)Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139549954707278212006-02-10T05:39:00.000+00:002006-02-10T05:39:00.000+00:00I am honestly worried about the people in ME who t...I am honestly worried about the people in ME who truly are not enemy. Those that are just trying to survive. Iraq is just trying to get on it's feet and this could really set them back much further.<BR/><BR/>The affects of a nuclear bomb go practically into infinity. Places that are hit are unliveable, the long term affects on the environment, the illness that doesn't kill, ect. Regular bombs kills people and destroy property. Nuclear bombs kills civilization.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe nuclear deterrance will work against Iran. That deterrance is there now and it hasn't stop them. They have become more and more emboldened by the minute. <BR/><BR/>This just doesn't feel good at all. My gut is in a knot for the first time in my life. My instincts are screaming bloody murder. I just hope that President Bush will be willing to "step all over" the crowd in the US who seems bent on our destruction, if the time comes it is needed.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037577654471567704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139546915364273342006-02-10T04:48:00.000+00:002006-02-10T04:48:00.000+00:00When it comes to a nuclear Iran, I'm not so worrie...When it comes to a nuclear Iran, I'm not so worried about Europe, as I am about the U.S. We are the Great Satan, you know.<BR/><BR/>I believe they will hit us and Israel. <BR/><BR/>Hope I am wrong. And, I hope they don't hit you guys.<BR/><BR/>Any nuclear weapon used, by any nation, will change the entire world. I doubt things would ever be the same after that.<BR/><BR/>It would be the end of modern civlization.<BR/><BR/>So, yes, you are right, we have to be worried about people who are already living in a backward civilization.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139544398432990262006-02-10T04:06:00.000+00:002006-02-10T04:06:00.000+00:00I know what you mean.
