In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu says Israel may have to confront Iran [View all]global1
(25,224 posts)Really what would happen? I'm sure that there are Think Tanks strategizing this situation. How would Israel do it? What would they attack? What would be the retaliation by the Iranians? What kind of army does Iran have? Are they formidable? I'm sure that they might cut off the Straits of Hormuz and block oil? How would the U.S. react? Would they come to the aid of Israel? Or would they let Israel fend for themselves? Would the U.S. preach restraint and try to stop it or would they join the fray?
When I sit back and think about this - I'm thinking it might not be that bad to let Iran get a nuclear weapon. Might it equalize the situation? Right now Israel is trying to stop them from having one and this seems to be the precipitating factor for all the unrest between Israel and Iran. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon - it seems to me that it might throw up some red flags as now it is a very real threat to Israel and if ever unleashed could mean total destruction of them. Maybe it would help bring the two to the negotiating table to work out differences and normalize things.
I must confess that I don't spend a lot of time thinking about Israel and Iran. All this talk by "Mitt N Yahoo" has got me thinking.
