Instead I'm more worried about Israeli reactions about the potential Irani nuclear weapons - the most recent indications, the Israelis might act on them soon was during the Israeli prime minister's most recent visit to United States.
And for the record, I'm not anti-semite nor anti-Israeli in my opinions. I respect their military prowess and the fact, they have survived as a nation in the middle of hostile nations. However, I dislike their habit of disregarding international laws and rules, and running behind the U.S. back whenever someone challenges them for it.

1. Moderator, can we yank this thread? It's starting to veer into hot button land.
2. I am a Jew, I have family in Israel through my in-laws. Sometimes, it's tough to be objective. Let's also not forget with regards to Hizbullah, we (the US) have some unfinished buisness of our own. They assumed control of the IJO around 1992. Therfore, they're the people to adress about the fact we still owe somebody for 241 dead US Marines in 1983. Helping the people of Syria free themselves ala Libya would be a nice, low footprint way to do it. As for Hamas? Had that argument before, people know my views. Ask yourselves one thing, if Canada or Mexico were shelling the US day in-day out, would you expect us to not do a damn thing? Sure, there's underlying issues, no doubt, and they should be adressed. But as Golda Meir put it, "Perhaps the killing will stop when the Arabs love their kids more than they hate us." One could argue that runs both ways. I suspect it does.
3. I shan't be responding anymore to this thread. Lest my own biases get out of control.
