Let's say that you have a neighbor that doesn't like your dog, and tells you to your face that he's going to kill it.

Nothing you do or say will change his mind.

What do you do?

How do you handle it peacefully?

What did we do when Khruschev said he would bury us?

We certainly didn't go off half-cocked into some needless war just because of some cheesy trash talking windbag now, did we?

Didn't work out too badly either.

BTW, when has an Iranian said they'd kill the dog? Most quotes just say they'll live to see it die.

You present actions you will take to help him deal with his temper tantrums. One might be suggest counseling. By the way, I thought distemper shots were just for animals.

Mutually assured destruction was the main fear for the USSR.

The Iranian nut doesn't fear it.

He has never wavered from his hatred and desire to wipe Israel off the map.

How can you defend this?

Have you ever been confronted by a nut? Try reason....mention counseling. You'll soon be missing some teeth.

Some people are bent on causing trouble.....a quick punch to the adams apple usually cures this.

What have I defended?

You say yourself "He has never wavered from his desire"

I you think 'desire' is reason for war, pack your bags and go join the IDF.

Personally, I think going to war over trash-talking and nothing else would be the height of stupidity.

If you walk up to someone and punch them in the Adam's Apple based on nothing but suspicion I'd say they have every right in the world to pull a gun and put one between your eyes.

You understand Obama has directed John Kerry as his NUMBER ONE priority as Secretary of State is Iran? And that priority is to make sure Iran does not procure a nuclear program of any kind? You realize what that will ULTIMATELY mean?

It won't just be Israel bombing a nuclar reactor this time. We will be involved also. A MAJOR war with Iran, with its current leadership, is only a matter of time.
