WWIII being planned?
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2535310,00.html

Well, no, I don't think Israel would WANT to set off WWIII. But a nuclear attack on Iran very well COULD lead to an uncontrollable situation.

Iran would certainly respond. Other Muslim nations would help. The U.S. would get dragged in. Russia very likely would not sit it out if its southern flank was threatened. Yikes. This could really get out of hand.

3. Well, if it happens it happens.
Just enjoy life for today or try to stop what you think is wrong. And if you're wrong, you'll be stopped and you'll wish they were planning WW III.

Not much we can do either way.

6. I tend to agree
Plus, I really think the Bushites have made it their goal to see that nuclear war becomes thinkable. What better way than to stand by while Israel throws a few "little" tactical nukes at Iran?

5. Has anybody considered that a preliminary attack on this country after we
or Israel launches a preliminary attack on Iran? I mean, going along with the saying "A good defense is a good offense", I can see China or Russia taking advantage of us being, er, distracted. MAD (mutually assured destruction) would not be a deterent as an attack on Iran would show the world if we don't care, why should any other country?

This could be very, very bad.

8. Chimpageddon
The planet doesn't have the resources to sustain the populace, according to mainstream science.

So what's the BFEE to do?

Through war, controlled human depopulation.



Paraguay, anyone?

11. Isreal will be signing it's (and the regions) death warrent if it does this.
And will encorage every country in the area (that survives the intial attack) to 'nuke-up' big time and fast.
