This isn't about anti-sentism solely because I don't align myself with any particular religion nor do I despise any group of people for any reason but what I do believe is stupidity should be left between those who want to play stupid. Personally, I believe Iran doesn't have an agenda to create nuclear weapons nonetheless if it ever decided to, it should have the right to but not without agreements between the UN Security Council. I believe Israel, other Middle Eastern Countries, and the main powers of the world can come together and have a civilized argument and finally at the very least make Israel recognize that it has nuclear weapons. If Israel recognizes it has Nuclear capabilities and signs the NPT, we can work from there and attempt to work with Iran with its nuclear program if needed.

So I just want to know what everyone thinks of the Israel potentially bombing Iran nuclear facilities, but without our support.

If they attack another country, while not being attacked themselves, I hope the get their violence returned to them in spades.

Size for size, Israel is the most violently aggressive, racist, bigoted, nation on Earth.

Military action ordered by the President alone in support of Israel without a Declaration of War would be unconstitutional.

But the constitution is treated like a Tijuana stop sign when it comes to using the military. Last glaring example Libya.

Support Israel with weapons and ammunition.
HOWEVER, no combat troops or aircraft.
Sorry, but there is nothing in the Mid-East that is worth the life of even one U.S. service member!

America needs to remember when you let the dogs out be prepared to be bitten in the ass.

Also North Korea seems to have forgotten when you mess with the best ,you die like the rest!

I agree with this with the exception of making them pay for it and it adds not one red cent to our debt. If they do not have the cash we will give them a loan with interest, if they do not like the terms then they are on there own.

Israel will do what is in its best interest and all of it has been done without US or UN support. Currently the support given to Israel by the US has been increased funding to aid in building more defense batteries in the Iron Dome program and selling Israel some of the the leftovers from the Iraq war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome

No matter what the US says in public, the 5th & 6th Fleets are already in the region. Thus the support query may be moot. Add that more people have been deployed to the 7th Fleet tends to tell us what direction the US is moving in (N Korea & Iran).

The only way for Israel to seriously hurt Iran would be with nukes.

So, in that sense it would become *everybodys* business.
