Should Israel launch an offensive on Iran?

Re: Iran

Joe are you wanting the motherland to take over the middle east ???

Iran and syria will be involved with hezbolah and something has got to be done about it but launching a full scale offensive like the one now in palestine will only create more problems .

To many people have died allready . They need to identify all of the facts and get help from the international community. At the moment there being suckerd into a fight on two possibly three fronts and thats a fight they will not win without help and support .

thats one biased report! the insolent bear cub!


israel fighting on 3 fronts? surley if they're all justified - isn't it time they asked for help?

Re: Iran

No, because it would undoubtedly mean the systematic destruction of a country, tearing a society to shreds, with the thread-bare excuse of searching out Hizbollah/Achmedinejad.

The means doesn't justify the end, especially where, as with Lebanon, the means constitute war crimes.

Re: Re: Iran

Yes.

Iran have a powerful military force possibly surpassed by Pakistan but deffinatly inferior to Israel... However unlike most Muslim nations they are not reliant on other countries to arm their military, most of their missiles are home-made (based on dated soviet technology).

Because of their ability to arm themselves I feel there needs to be some form of action to stop them from progressing to the stage where they'd pose a serious threat to middle eastern stability.

Re: Re: Iran

No I want to ensure my people never face another pogrom, genocide, holocaust, ghetto, massacre.

How do you propose that Israel ends the hostility they face?

We don't need the help of anyone... We crushed the arabs aggressions long before the US had aligned themselves with Israel.

Who would help us?

We've learnt from experience that we can't rely on the poweful to protect the Jews.

Re: Re: Iran

So should Israel sit back and allow to continue the expantion of their weapons programs?

Re: Re: Re: Iran

It's not your job to police the middle east.

Re: Re: Re: Iran

Your starting to sound like an american !

Whats going on now shouldnt be happening and to want it to escalate more is just plain Dumb . But it is going to happen . Weather you like it or not as soon as you attack iran or they you the USA will get involved and yet more hatred will be created across the middle east .

If you strike at Iran your doing nothing more than throwing Petrol onto a fire

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iran

You don't need as many ground forces when you can indiscriminately carpet bomb entire communities with illegal phosphorous bombs.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iran

Its not a case of how many you have but how capable they are:

Iran has 12.5 million troops
Israel has 1.5 million troops

But Israel has double the tanks, a far superior airforce, a more advanced missle program.

Israel wouldn't require a large ground force as they'd only move in to take out the military capabilities of Iran.... Iraq requires such a large ground force as we're concerned with rebuilding the nation.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iran

But Israel never had ambitions to destroy Iran... Iran seems focused on the destruction of Israel.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iran

Its our job to protect our citizens.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iran

and if we leave Iran they'll continue to grow in strength and ultimatly wipe us off the face of the earth.... What would you do if you faced this threat?
