Israel has already been attacked by Iran's proxy Hezbollah in 2006.

By all means Bibi, go ahead - alone.
But no... we all know he wont do it alone. By the time he'll strike iran he'll also stage a supposed "iranian" attack against the us fleet, getting the US instantly on his side against iran - I dont think the US can avoid a war against Iran.
Sure we can. We just tell Israel that if they take military action of any kind against Iran for any reason whatsoever...we just go ahead and level Israel instead of Iran.
Problem solved.
so your saying that instead of killing muslim civilians we should be killing jewish civilians? sounds kinda racist to me

Like I said on another thread, thats the stuff dreams are made of! But I dont think so... unfortunately.
Although if that happened, it would only be required 1 aircraft carrier, and it would be there only half-an-hour...
No, I have a feeling the US are cornered on this one...

I see this argument repeated by the Iranian apologist crowd quite often on ATS.
How exactly does "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" and "wiped off the map" differ in this context?
On one hand "wiped off the map" implies the abolition of the modern Israeli state to be replaced by a greater Palestine.
On the other saying that "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" is a more melodramatic reference to the abolition of the Israeli state to be replaced by a singe Palestinian state.
It means the same thing.
No, literally it really doesnt. I dont know about you, but when I say something, I say what I mean, not some cryptic BS. If what the Iranian head honcho said, was that "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" then THAT is precisely what he meant. That and nothing else. Do not interpret, just read and comprehend. Its plain enough language after all.
How about Iran stops sponsoring terrorist organisations and quits playing games with a nervous world regarding their "peaceful" nuclear ambitions?
Iran has played no games what so ever with its nuclear program. They have every right to create nuclear power stations and infrastructure, and I have to say, I am glad that they are making this choice to continue. Even the Iranians dont want to use oil right now, and that says something.The nuclear power they are producing is going to make life much cheaper and easier for the nation as a whole, which can only be a good thing for its people.
And as for the deliberately inflamatory reference to "peaceful" nuclear ambitions, very well done, that was particularly childish. The reality of the situation is that no one has ever been able to prove that the Iranians have, are working on, or have aquired the requisite parts to make a nuclear weapon, and until that proof exists, the only reason to suggest such a thing is outright xenophobia.
Iran has done their part as well to bring the rhetoric and saber rattling to where it is now, to pretend otherwise is naive or disingenuous.
For the record I believe that diplomacy, not force is the solution to the current quagmire.

Either your preference for diplomacy is false, or your attitude toward nuclear power production in Iran is. Having both is a completely unresolveable position. If you wish a diplomatic solution, you have to accept that the Iranians must be allowed nuclear power, and quit being so afraid of them that you assume that thier every nuclear effort must be negative. You cannot have it both ways.

Netanyahu: I Will Attack Iran Alone if Necessary
www.israelnationalnews.com
(visit the link for the full news article)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu promised on Monday that by the time his term as Prime Minister is over, Iran will not have a nuclear weapons program.
Speaking to Channel 2, Netanyahu said that if it is necessary, he will lead an independent Israeli attack against Iran, even without the support of the United States.
“When former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel, was it with the consent of the Americans? When former Prime Minister Menachem Begin bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor, was that with the consent of the Americans?” asked Netany
