If Israel Bombed Iran...Would U.S. Attack?

maybe i am not making myself clear. iran could pass off nuclear materials to terrorists for them to make weapons, such as dirty bombs.

or in the event of internal chaos in iran, nuclear materials could fall into the hands of terrorists.

i think that is a very valid argument.

 

you may be right, but ahmannutjob doesnt have complete control. and even if they are smart enough not to pass off materials to terrorist organizations, unrest could create enough chaos for materials to disappear. same with pakistan. another country with too much instability. why add one more "possible" nuclear weapons capable unstable country to the mix?

no one knows if it is rhetoric or not. but develolping weapons grade materials flies in the face of what iran says they want to use nuclear materials for which is for energy purposes. if they are developoing weapons grade materials, then they are already lying.

im not saying we go in a bomb em. but i sure can see the "tsk, tsk, wink, wink" routine if israel does.

edit to add: thank you for the clarification. i knew i had read what they were developing exceeded what is needed for energy purposes.

 

Maybe, Maybe not.

 

If that is your argument then we should be ready to go to war with half the middle east.

 

i guess you missed the part that i said that doesnt necessarily mean we bomb em.

but having someone like iran develop weapons grade materials is worrisome to me.

 

“Tehran, 23 Feb. (AKI) - Iran aims to spread its Islamic revolution beyond its borders, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pledged on Tuesday. "The Islamic revolution's final objective is global revolution," Ahmadinejad said in a live televised address. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Ahmadinejad also vowed to "cut the hands" of Iran's enemies if the Islamic republic was attacked.”

I agree with Anne…I would rather a loon like above get his hands on the Islamic bomb than us or Israel do anything to stop them. Lord knows that we could easily push back a hundred times harder than Iran could against us, but nevertheless for ****s and kicks let the crazy Mullahs have nukes. Life is too boring in any event and history must repeat itself.

I mean I am literally quivering in my boots at the idle threats made by Iran’s President.

 

I agree that democracy has to evolve, it doesn't work as well when it is installed. However, we are the world's police force, whether you (or I) like it or not. National security is maintained abroad, not inside our own borders.

 

"Iran" probably would not pass off nuclear material/knowledge/capability to terrorists. But the fringe elements inside (and outside) the country that the theocrats use to fight their proxy battles would do it in a heart beat if they could get their paws on the stuff. And we all know Iran's domestic security situation is tenuous at best.
