What will happen when Israel strikes Iran? The most probable scenario is this; Israel will damage Iran's nuclear facility(ies), The Muslim and particularly the Muslim Arab nations will condemn the action publicly but privately be relieved, the Soviet Union err Russia will rattle her sabre a bit, Hamas and or Hezbollah will fire a few rockets, the "professional left" in this country (and elsewhere) will jump around and whine in their usual cuntish way, and the region will be somewhat safer.
That is about it.

Israel could fail in its plan. Iran could intercept and stop the attack.
Then Iran could launch a counter-attack. USA could get dragged into another middle-east war to prevent Israel being over run.
Yea, typical short sighted thinking on long-term problems.

Israel has Bibi Netanyahu at its head, and this guy, after being severely insulted by Obama, continues to lick the latter's boots. So don't expect any heroics out of him. He's also a lefty at heart. (Unlike his brother who was killed at Entebbe, who was tough.) And also remember that the Israeli government leans heavily to the left, and has given leftists to take control of the army, so again, don't let your high hopes fool you to think that's the way things will actually play out.
At the Edge you may be right. You may be right indeed. You too for that matter Ema, but I might add that at some point Iran's nuclear ambitions will have to be halted.

"...at some point Iran's nuclear ambitions will have to be halted."
Iran claims its nuclear programs are for peaceful purposes. Building nuclear reactors now while the oil money is flowing in makes perfect sense. When the oil runs out, as it eventually will, nuclear power could be a source of power for a nation.
Given the total lack of creditability of the fear monger 'bomb Iran' crowd, why do you choose to believe Iran is a threat?

I believe the govt of Iran is a threat because of the oft stated purpose of destroying Israel. At some point you have to take them at their word. Also we have a fleet of ships in the Gulf and troops in the region and Iran could pose a threat if She so chose.

"...Benjamin Netanyahu, 9 years ago -- thinking there is no record -- explains his actually strategy to inflict pain on the Palestinians. He also describes how easy it is to manipulate the US, and how he made sure that the Oslo Accords would mean nothing...."
