Ledluck, you need to understand a few essential points.
1. Iran has publicly and repeatedly stated their intentions of destroying a recognized state - Israel.
2. Iran according to the EU and the US, sponsors terrorists. That means they supply them with assistance like weapons and money etc.
3. Saying that Israel is small is..... like saying Bush wasn't the best president we've ever had. You're understating the point...a little.
Two nuclear detonations annihilate Israel's population centers. It would leave over 90% of Israel uninhabitable from radiation for the foreseeable future.
When the Soviets attempted to put nuclear weapons in Cuba, President John F. Kennedy was willing to go to war to protect our hemisphere.
Imagine just how much more ballistic we would have gotten had the Soviets announced their intentions, on numerous occasions, to bomb the US, using Cuba as it's launching pad!
The stakes were high then.
The stakes are higher now.
When it comes to nuclear warfare you don't have the luxury of sustaining a first hit and then using superior firepower in your retaliation. And Israel is simply too small.
How can we ask Israel to take a MUCH bigger risk than we were ever willing to take? No country would put itself at that kind of risk and neither should Israel.
