Mitt claims he will and all the neo-cons comment they can stop Iran's nuclear pursuit with another unilateral US attack. In this case the initial strike will be of Israeli origin but will soon be followed by US ground troops. That is exactly want America needs...another loosing war at tremendous human and economic cost. Did we not hear the exact rhetoric from the last neo-con President and his bevy of neo-con advisers. We all know the history of the Iraq and Afghan wars and we know that neither was monumental in its success. Thus, the Republican way is not the approach to take. President Obama is proceeding properly on this issue.
Many other countries that America claimed would never get nuclear weapons have them such as Pakistan, India, Korea and Iran may soon have them. There is little that can be done to stop a determined regime. Iran has safeguards, underground sites and surely has designed a system where more than one production facility exists. An Israeli air attack might slow down the Iranian nuclear program it will not however stop the desire for or the production of nuclear weapons. Only time may be gained from an Israeli attack. What are the long term ramifications of such an attack?
One has to examine why Iran would use nuclear weapons against Israel because to do so endangers all Palestinians, Jordan, Syria, Arabia and Egypt at the least. That is allot of Shia Muslims endangered. In fact wind and air currents could push harmful fallout directly over Iran. The Israeli sponsored and media propagated myth that deems Iran guilty of creating nuclear weapons to use against Israel are exaggeration and fear mongering. If the intent is to harm Israel at any cost then, if it is meant to be it will be. As it stands now there is no way to stop Iran. For as long as Iran is ostracised for doing what many other countries do the world will keep her alone and isolated. Including Iran amongst the powers that be might be an invitation to new behaviours and a reduction in tensions worldwide.
Whenever I hear an American neo-con babbling out of the side of his mouth about Iran I ask Who is going to stop them?
