I don't hate Israel, but I have serious misgivings about your feelings towards we American taxpayers.
No hard feeling though as I support your right to send the Israel government as much of your paycheck as you please.

Iran with nukes is a threat to all non-muslim countries. Only fools would argue that.

Whether it comes via an Iranian attack on Israel or some other country in the middle east; that can have a ripple effect across the world both economically and through alliances changing.

How many other countries without nukes would ally themselves with Iran out of simple fear? What would this do to traditional allies or friends of the U.S.? How would the U.S exert influence if everyone in the mid-east is looking over it's shoulder at Iran?

No one can seriously believe today that a state like Iran, born of theological zealotry, would not use it's ownership of the nuke to threaten America, either directly, or by proxy.

Sanctions were working and should have been strengthened AND enforced. Too bad ...so sad.

Iran will have it's nukes, that's almost a given now. The U.S. is going to regret in no small measure not standing behind Israel on this issue.

Nonsense. Pakistans are more fanatical than Iranians. They have a nuke and are no threat to us.

And a threat to Israel is not a threat to us. Sorry.

You always have a reason for everything. Whether the U.S should be in the Middle East or not, Iran is a sponsor of terror on a individual level and on the geo-political level. Its not all about starting a war or being a threat in your backyard. This is 3rd grade baby talk.

Iran is a danger to the world once it goes nuclear. And no, there has not been a released terror plot in the US by Iran since this one. One that you falsely claimed never happened.

Turn off FOX. Only a fool would ignore the fact that our meddling in other countries creates blowback and only a fool would ignore the fact that Iran has never started a war and only a fool would ignore the fact the Great ole USA is the only country to have used nukes.
Time to bring our money and troops home, the foreign policy of regime change and occupation have proven to be complete failures and have made us all less safe.

Good luck. American foreign policy is de facto an extension of Israeli foreign policy. That's the grip that Jews have on US government and use it to enact legislation for Israel.

Of course anyone who immediately mentions this obvious fact is branded a hitler reincarnation.

This is a joke right? Iran is not a threat to the United States in any way shape or form. We may be a threat to them, but they are not a threat to us.

I can't believe the absolute ignorance of so many Americans when it comes to the Israeli STRANGLEHOLD on U.S policy.

It's as if the country has its head in the sand, too busy watching football and American idol and believing these ridiculous lies spouted.

I can think of a dozen things much worse that my tax money goes too than a country that supplies/invents so much of our technology and weaponry.

Well, hate to break it to you but the U.S started it. Considering every political platform in the United States has used Israel in one sort of another and has continued to use Israel for its own self interests since the Cold War.

So end them all, or are you on favor of income redistribution like a good little marxist?

Ps. We have all the militaristic technology we need to defend our own soil.
