		<description>Strange comment.  Israel has beaten that &#039;spirit&#039; everytime since Israel was founded.  Considering the tiny country of Israel, vastly outnumbered and surrounded by hostile arab states has won every war they have fought since their founding in 1948 including defeating 3 arab armies in 6 days in 1967.   The million man Iraqi army in &#039;the mother of all battles&#039; lasted 3 days against US forces, but Iran fought that same army for  8 years - and could not really win.  Like the Iraqi forces, Egyptian or Syrian forces,  the Iranians are a paper tiger with outdated equipment, a poorly trained airforce,  and weak in military strategy compared to a sophisticated fighting force like Israel or the US.   As far as Hezbollah,  they are not a regular army and therefore winning a war against them must be measured differently.  Israel pounded the hell out  out of them and their leaders were hiding in underground bunkers.  Hezbollah has been quiet and not fired a missile since that war because they know the shit kicking they took from Israel and they are not anxious to have it happen again.  It is also well know that Israel barely used about 1/100 of its air and ground power in the Hezbollah war.   </description>

		<description>It will be really funny if we hear that Israel has been exterminated by a an Iranian nuclear bomb. How&#039;s that Andrewp111. The killing of innocent children, women and men is funny to your understanding of human values. Hey, it will be really funny to see your entire family dying by the fact that they have been contaminated with fission products, that will be really cool to watch. Ha ha ha. </description>

		<description>It&#039;s hard to believe anyone could be so evil as to even imagine using any nuke nowadays and killing 100&#039;s of thousands of human beings or more. Who is really doing the &quot;threatening&quot; &amp; how evil is it? Who is the real threat to mid east peace &amp; WORLD peace if not Israel? ...its clearly a danger to all....&amp; perhaps to Israelis most...As &quot;james said&quot;.... the whole show there is based on theft &amp; murder &amp; deception. </description>

		<description>Muslim Spirit is easily broken by MTB - Massive Thermonuclear Bombardment.  
 
Do you have any idea how many Iranians will be left after being hit with 100 (or more!) 1 megaton bombs? It might even take them 1000 years to reach the 70 million mark again. </description>

		<description>It is more likely that Israel will use drones, at least for most missions. Iran is very far away, and Israel can&#039;t afford to have commandos captured. Drones can carry nasty isotopes into the entrances and ventilation ducts of Iran&#039;s underground facilities, and can assasinate people if their locations and movements are well known. Scientists and engineers generally go to and from work every day at predictable times, which makes them easy to target.  Drones can also drop robotic ground vehicles that can enter underground facilities, and stage a nuclear weapons &quot;accident&quot;. Drones are deniable if they have a good self destruct mechanism.  
 
 
It will be really funny if we hear that Iran had a couple of nuclear accidents and their prime facilities are contaminated with fission products. </description>

		<description>Can any nation now commit an act of murder or act of war and then just casually say &quot;we felt threatened&quot;? I thought this, in itself, is a war crime? My bet is, it is partly a smokescreen to divert attention from &quot;Israel International&quot; &amp; the NWO &amp; war profiteers stealing everything they can (&amp; from us too) AND, destroying everything they can&#039;t control. I don&#039;t think they will ever control the Arabs because they have had 5000yrs of &quot;tricks&quot; &amp; they are too smart! And why would they want to. I suspect the &quot;Arab world&quot; is no more dangerous to any of us if we do the the right thing than our next door neighbour with a kitchen knife. According to Israel&#039;s &quot;defence&quot; &quot;rationale&quot; we would need to kill or &quot;control&quot; all our next door neighbours? We ought all be making friends &amp; learning from each other not dropping bombs on human beings. And this &quot;Innocent civilians&quot; stuff what a joke...are opposition soldiers also not presumably &quot;innocent&quot; too? It SMELLS to me like war profiteers and thieves &amp; their bankers are raping the west and beyond by buying our politicians and running 24/7 propaganda. I would look to the FED &amp; IMF &amp; World Bank &quot;relationship&quot; for some answers? </description>
