Oh boy, this one is all sunshine and lollipops. So long as Israel doesn't take and preemptive strikes and gives a proportional response, I think it is appropriate for them to be prepared. And I hope that the international community makes it clear to all parties that war will not be tolerated.

I worry about how the Middle East might flare up if something like this actually transpires.

end result, really bad. Now you started the whole world war 3 thread again, oh boy, here we go again...

Yeah i know here we go again,i remember last time people kept saying Iran will be attacked on this day or that day,but nothing happened then,This gets a bit tiresome you know

People enjoy fear mongering over good old fashion common sense.
Yes tiresome, but not surprising.....

Did they not learn the first time they tried this on Israel? Is Iran willing to risk war with not only Israel but the United States? I suppose they are now that Iran has sunk further into the Islamofascist dogma. I look forward to seeing Israel pulverize these terrorists once more.

People that have wronged so many people will generally tend to be paranoid. They will always look over their shoulder and more times then not, no one will be there behind them. Is this any different from their past thoughts that someone was out to go to war with them? I guess if I killed a few thousand innocent people in less then a years time, Id be looking over my shoulder quite a bit too.

Its also funny they would say this when they've been openly saying they wish to attack Iran. Just more sympathy fishing.

This could very easily be triggered its true.
[Paranoia Factor] - Supposedly the 3rd world war will begin in Israel and destroy 3/4 of the population!

ya that was then and in the recent war with hezbollah i saw the mighty israelie army strugling they were cowards and had to kill civilians and look hezbollah is still here

all israle has is its airforce with out that they would be crushed and you say america well iran has the backing of russia and if this missile shield goes ahead i dont think russian will be happy

My what short term memories we have I see...
If you remember, Israel was a few minutes or hours from beginning a real offensive just before the cease fire. Those brief raids and air strikes were nothing compared to what was about to take place but fortunately didn't. It looked bad because Israel made the same mistake the U.S. did with Iraq and not follow the Powell Doctrine or something similar. Should a similar situation arrive, do you think Israel would make the same mistake twice?

People...remember, Israel's been losing territory since '79 and they performed very, very poorly in last year's war. I think it's about time to start taking bets on how long we have until war forces Israel to make major concessions.

The Zionist state aint working...it needs to be seriously changed or even abolished.

I dont think they have been losing any real estate. Its impossible if they have been expanding the settlements steadily and hidden from view for years. For ever piece of land they "gave" they took another piece somewhere else. As far s abolishing them goes well I think its little too late for that now. The arabs are pretty much used to the idea and even accepting of it but they do have to change their attitude and their ways. If anything needs to be done its absolutely to reverse the UN Zionist= racism back to its original status of being racist.

Well Iran has never attacked Israel in an open declaration of war, and I do not count on them doing so anytime soon.

Egypt, a previous instigator of war against Israel has been under American puppet control for quite some time, no threat there(not that anyone said there was).

The most I could ever expect is Syria declaring that the Golan Heights has never been the property of Israel, and deploying defensive forces against the backlash. Of course Israel's move would then be seen as a declaration of war and no doubt hamas and Hezbollah would start doing some pretty hard stuff.

I still do not see Iran directly involving itself unless Israel pushes into the Syrian mainland or something. War machines, ammo, and essential supplies, yes. But if Israel and Syria began going at it, I do not envision the US or Iran to be any more involved than they already are, supplying their respected allies with essential equipment and whatnot.

As if Russia would have much of a choice. What makes us think that we don't have a missile defense system up already? I mean c'mon, lets at least be reasonable here. Why would Reagan have gone all out and nearly bankrupted us with the SDI project if he never finished it? I'm sorry, I'm just not buying it.

Not only that, but I feel as though this is just one more step towards a conflict in the region. For a more thorough explanation of what I think, check here and here as well. Please feel free to opine here with anything that you think may be out of place.

Both of those threads explain my views on this pretty well.

I look forward to more talks on this.

ThatsJustWeird, pretty-good point. In blunt terms Israel can and will do what they have to do to protect themselves as the USA has under Pres Bush, ie: preemptive defence.

Tried what? The article doesn't say anything about Iran planning to declare war on Israel. It just says that they are capable of it.

Israel are the ones gearing for war, i'd be more worried about what they could do tbh. If Israel attacked anyone in the region all it would provoke would be some big frowns from other countries, maybe a couple of empty UN sanction threats.
If anyone attacked Israel there would be calls for nuclear war! Anyway the article doesn't even say that Iran are preparing for war so I wouldn't worry too much.

Personally I think Isroil has made it quite clear that they don't really care about the 'international community', look at all their 'failed' UN Resolutions for example. Remember, we're just 'cattle' to them - they have their own agenda and 'our' opinions mean less than nothing to them.

Well heres for the sky is falling crew. Read between the lines. Syria is possibly preparing for Israeli retaliation.

it seems with the removal of Blair as PM,

the 'powers-that-be' are setting the course for PM Gordon Brown's term...

Nothing will stop war in the ME. Logic fails in the face of fanaticism. It is irrelevant how many die or how many suffer. All that matters to fanatics (and religious fanatics are the worst) is prosecution of their beliefs.

The moslem world will never be satisfied until ALL the lands conquered by the Ottoman empire (and therefore moslem empire) are returned under the boot heel of sharia law.
These lands include India, Spain, Portugal, southern Italy, the Balkans, Greece and so on.....including Judea, Israel, Samaria and the rest of the ME lands. And if they can pick up a bit more land along the way; it is the will of allah.
They will never, never stop. They will never question the cost in human lives and misery. They will never question the justice of their cause. They will never show compassion for their enemies or their own people. Any time that appears to be a respite is recovery and resupply time prior to restarting it all again.

The moslem plan in the ME is to threaten and posture, build up troops in aggressive positions and squeeze Israel to breaking point. In the face of such large adversaries and inevitable conflict, Israel will have no choice but to strike first and this is what the moslem world wants. By striking first, Israel will suffer diplomatic reversals from much of the world and its long-term ability to defend itself will be weakened.

The nuclear weapons used in the ME war will render large amounts of the ME uninhabitable for thousands of years but this will not deter any side. Their attitude is that it is better for no one to have use of the land than for the other side to have it.

There is a solution but the mothers of the ME (all sides) have poured so much hate into the generations of children in their care that the inevitable result is war.
