As soon as Iran tests a nuclear weapon they will be wiped off the map, the desert will be turned to glass :) If they do it above ground or under we have the ability to detect it. The world will not accept a nuclear Iran. It will not only be Israel at that point, there will be many countries willing to end this once Iran's true intentions are exposed. By the way, it will not be the end of Israel, I don't remember anyone coming to Sadams rescue. .

No, Israel and Iran should help each other to go Solar and Nuclear and etc. peacefully, because they both gain more by peace than by war. Besides both are the children of Abraham from different wives: one from Sara and other from Katura.

I'm back. Should Isreal attack? Hell yes. The Us doesn't have to sanction their decision. Isreal can handle Iran. They were able to beat back four arab countries in a four day war. Isreal will not be destroyed. They will win and ruin Iran. Let Isreal bomb Iran back into the stone age. If the US decides to give its blessing, help their planes refuel on the way home by loaning them a tanker. Then we won't have to bother with Iran and its corrupt regime.
