Iran is incorrect. If they attempt to close the straights of hormuz it would be a violation of international law. In short, if they closed the straights, theyd be begging for an ass kicking.
No one told the Arabs to leave Palestine. Not before Israel became a state or afterward. But the Arabs were not willing to peacefully accept the compromise offered to the by the UN which included the State of Israel along side a country for them. They went to war instead to have it all and lost.
The Jewish terror gangs went to work clearing Arab villages in 1947.. and would NOT allow the peasant families to return in 1949. Maybe Mexican illegals will let you know how much of your property you'll be allowed to keep.
The Mullahs want to usher in the 12th Imam, who by their religion will come after much religious war...so, Yes, Iran wants a war!! Another case of religion causing war..but not Judaism, it is fundamental Islam!
Would someone please tell Margot that if we have a war over Iran's nuclear weapons we can blame it on the spineless Euro and libs in this country who failed to support George Bush when he wanted to embargo Iran years ago. Now it may be too late to stop the crazy mullahs without going to war.
The 12th Imam is "their" messiah...but, also many evangelical Christians expect this war (a large enemy coming from the east toward Israel) to usher in the end times and the 2nd coming of Jesus. The Zionists are just trying to 'survive' with no particular end times belief, as they have rejected the 1st coming of their Messiah (as a servant), and still are looking for Him to come as a conquering King.....
I've done my homework. The Israeli's and most non-Israel's tell it one way and Arabs and their lib apologists tell it another.
Bush rejected attacking Iran right before he left office.... Cheney was putting alot of pressure on him.. I think Bush realized that he'd been duped into attacking Iraq... but to lte.
Na, He wasnt duped. Saddam had to go and bill clinton was spineless.... Iran will get their beat down, but only when they beg for it....
You don't have to scratch all that deeply. Just a mere brush up against them and out flows the Arab sentiment. Now I'm not necessarily a hawk. But don't you think that Iran is fully aware that if push came to shove, the U.S. could annihilate them within a half hour? 90% of our assets and military clout haven't been used in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Neither military action has been exposed to our capabilities. They count on our fear of a 3rd world war if we were to pull the tarps off of our war machine. We wouldn't require boots on the ground for any other reason than mopping up. And no, I'm not suggesting nuclear. Our conventional weapon capability is overwhelming. Our Navy and Air Force are awesome and Iran has a huge exposure on the Persian Gulf. If Iran wants to pursue their saber rattling and take it to the next level, They'll have to pray to Allah that Obama gets another 4 years and can accomplish the dismantling of our military edge. We can commence with some serious concern if he is re-elected.
Bush never wanted to attack Iran. For years he tried to get the know-it-all Euro's and libs in this country to put diplomatic and economic pressure on Iran but no one wanted to do it. It could have avoided a war then but now who knows?
Bill Clinton was too smart to be tricked by the dual citizen neo-cons.. that's why he smiled and ignored them.
Um no, both Israelis and arabs have recorded the work of Israeli terror in the pre and post 48 periods. Most non israelis have long recognised the need to examine all the narratives rather than simply the official Israeli one. You simply havent read enough beyond the people you already like to know better.
The U.S. doesnt have to 'beat' Iran as in take over and do another nation build---just bomb the critical mil/nuke facilities and let the majority of the Iranian ppl do the rest 'on the ground' to take back their country.
It's not only the Israeli narrative. Most independent observers at the time recorded it the same way. The Arabs thought they had enough military power that they didn't have to compromise.
Indeed, and we euros still dont want or expect war. Its not in anyones interest. Iran is not trying to kill anyone. Iran wants to make itself a developed, independent Islamic power. It doesnt want to bomb anyone. Only Americans and Israelis are so frightened that they want to bomb. Its time you Americans calmed down.
Oh is that it? You couldn't defeat a bunch of Iraqis and Afghans because you were holding back? LOL...boy...I sure hope all the widows those 2 wars made, don't hear about this. Or are you just sort of making this crap up...
