Will Israel launch a preemptive strike on Iran? Are they just sabre rattling?
Perhps our troops Obama says are coming home will simply be the invading force to back up a nuclear attack on Iran.
I imagine that they will, eventually. Israel does not have a history of unsubstantiated threats. The problem herein is that Israel knows it will have the military support of the U.S. No "Christian" nation wants to be opposed to Israel during a war because the boggey-man might come down and initiate the Rapture. I sincerely hope that our leaders are not dumb enough to invade any more countries for a while...I imagine they will at least wait until the presidential elections are over. At this point, it boggles my mind that young people are still willingly enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces. I mean, I did it, but I was stupid.
Well, that's a good point you make. The greatest threat to world peace right now is war between Iran and Israel. If we use history as a guideline, the US won't invade Iran until that nation is weak and it's people are practically starving. Iraq and Afghanistan were the two weakest countries in the Middle East, so we knocked them over. Expect a decade of embargos and other sanctions, followed by aerial attacks on key infrastructure points. When Iran can barely stand on its own two feet, we'll probably find an excuse to invade.
Good answer, but do you think Israel will invade Iran on its own first?

Who are the savage if not Israel? Who are the civilized man? Isn't it a colonialist language? Why would we...

Barack Obama has the potential of being considered 'great' by Presidential historians in the foreign policy arena.Diplomacy is back, the Right and its hidebound policies that include saber rattling and the eternal bogey man is dismissed. Progressive is better. I am proud to see embassies reopened...

Many news outlets, like CNN, have posted that Leon Panetta is now suggesting Isreal will attack Iran in the spring. Is this a good idea? Should America get involved?

With Irans new revelations that they have a secret site for the nuclear capabilities is this the latest step in the path to a nuclear war?
