The situation is very dangerous, a...Excellent post. The situation is very dangerous, and the last thing that is called for is the <I>nuanced</I> assessment the Europeans so prefer. Their running helplessly in circles can only encourage Iran . . . their conduct is disturbingly reminiscent of their reacts in the early days of Hitler's rise (before Churchill set things right). "La plus que ca change, la plus que c'est la meme chose". (Very roughly translated that means that most of the Europeans have always been total morons, and probably always will be!)<BR/><BR/>What some countries don't seem to realize is that Iran possessing nukes would pose a danger not only to Israel, but to other nations in the area...in fact, use of nukes would be a danger to the entire world. However, as Pastorius points out, taking out the nukes would not completely solve the problem. There are many other dangerous aspects of Iran's insanity. I could be wrong about some of this, but here are just a few things that I believe are cause for worry:<BR/><BR/>Its not mentioned all that much in the media, but apparently Iran has given Hizbollah literally thousands of missiles which are in southern Lebanon and aimed at Israel. I believe they can reach as far as Haifa.<BR/><BR/>In addition, after a long period of quiet, Hizbollah has recently launched an attack on the Lebanese-Israel border and Israel retaliated. (Somewhat OT: Michael J. Totten has a very interesting report & pictures of his recent visit to the border area http://adeeperlookweblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/situation-on-lebanese-israeli-border.html). <BR/><BR/>If Hizbollah persists in cross border attacks, Israel will not sit idly by and let her citizens be murdered. The border situation alone could escalate into something very dangerous. <BR/><BR/>Finally: with an open border with Egypt, I am sure that large numbers of al-Qaeda & Hizbollah (which is controlled by Iran) operatives are now finding it relatively easy to move into Gaza. While most of the established major terrorist groups there have, at least for the time being, significantly decreased their attacks on Israel, al-Qaeda's & Hizbollah's presence on a large scale in Gaza creates a very dangerous situation indeed-- and not just for Israel (a perceptive comment by <I>Dry Bones</I>: http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com/2005/08/egyptian.html).<BR/><BR/>Al-jihadman is one lunatic amongst the many lunatics that live in the area, but of course the difference between him & the others is that he will soon have nukes. This is certainly not a good time for the world to endulge in analyzing the "nuances" of the situation. . . .Krishna109https://www.blogger.com/profile/10497968813137194720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1134845048007968492005-12-17T18:44:00.000+00:002005-12-17T18:44:00.000+00:00It won't help to kill Ahmadinejad.
