Iran test-fires missiles in Persian Gulf

Is the Israeli nuclear site in range? If it's hit, how widespread would be the damage? Would it be similar to Iran dropping a nuclear upon Israel?

Remember the glee when Israel committed an act of war against the Syrian desert site. I wonder how much jumping up and down there will be if a REAL war kicks off in the Middle East. Probably the same nuts that belly ached from the safety of the States while US service persons retuned, never to fight again. They'll be cheer leading again from behind. It's like voting to have the worst recession EVER in memory!

Will sides then in the Middle East be decided by religion, race, or allegiance?

Situational morality at it's worse.

Power is the only currency that matters.

Sorry for not putting your statement in quotes.

Even if you don't buy into the "God's people" angle, you'd have to be a moron not to see that:

1) Iran/Syria : much more likely to use nuclear weapons to attack "the west."

2) Israel : much more likely to use nuclear weapons to attack "the Arabs."

Go Israel!

No I am not a moron and looking at the history of the region it is in fact more likely that Israel will launch an attack than anyone else.

Besides this is not an sport event.

I'd always go on the evidence before me and not more silly emotion.

Who has used "the bomb" before?
Who has threatened to use it most often?
Who has still denied having it when the world and its wife knows that it has it?
Who would you trust after 7/8 years of lies?
Which state is the modern version of Nazi Germany?
Which state has been at continuous war with its neighbours for 60 years?
Which countries have invaded the most countries since WW2?
Will I continue?
Any doubts now who I distrust not to use a nuke first?

Ratilfar: I wasn't really concerned with who would attack first. I am much more concerned about WHO would get attacked. Clearly I'd prefer it to be "them."

Righthand: You've got a future in the Democratic party! Let me ask you - Do you hate America more than Israel? Or vice-versa?

So the act is not wrong if you are doing it.

Oh the banality of evil....

Ratilfar: "wrong" isn't part of the question.

I believe it is WRONG for anyone to bomb anyone. Its murder. Its sin. Its horrible.

But if someone is going to get it - I'd prefer "them." Certainly not "us."

And in my particular world-view Israel is part of the "us." I can certainly understand how someone that would rather have Iran in their "us" column would disagree.

I don't want to have Iran in the "us" column, and considering how the Israelis treat their "friends" don't kid yourself into thinking that they see you in the same light either.

And it is Israel that is more likely to attack anyone, that is wrong and I won't support it, just as I would not support or condone anyone engaging in preemptive and aggressive war. Which by the way, it is a war crime!

Righthand: You've got a future in the Democratic party! Let me ask you - Do you hate America more than Israel? Or vice-versa?

Only someone with double-loyalty dilemmas could ask such a question of either an American or a Zionist. As an Irish person I have no problem with the question. How about you Travislaborde? How do you split? As you failed to answer any of question after ...

I'd always go on the evidence before me and not more silly emotion.

.. I won't hold my breath for an answer now, but I'll ask further questions.

Which country deliberately murdered 34 US servicemen on USS Liberty?
Which country attempted to sink USS Liberty wi[b]...

I believe it is WRONG for anyone to bomb anyone. Its murder. Its sin. Its horrible.

Does that include your Zionist friends too? Like when they murdered hundreds of fleeing women and children during their failed excursion into Lebanon while they were chased out by Hizbollah. Men against tanks - no contest, remember? Or the women and children murdered in Gaza and the West Bank? Did you condemn those deaths?

Blow your brain for a moment and consider this. Would there be a "them" and "us" if a certain parasite state wasn't controlling America's foreign policy. If you have divided loyalties then don't bother answering. Why should the parasite be the only nuclear power in the Midd...
