I am astounded at the nonchalance with which this subject is being discussed!

We are dealing with a potentially very grave situation that could result in the total extinction of the human race, should the maniacs who are prepared to utilize nuclear weapons to achieve their own selfish aims (of world domination) be allowed to continue their historical reign of terror.

I question totally the envisaged right of any nation to equip themselves with Nuclear weapons capable of destroying the planet, whilst at the same time insisting that other nations who do NOT play in the same ball-park, are prevented under threat of duress from arming themselves accordingly.

I remember way back in the early 1980`s, when US Advisor Edward Teller made the mind-boggling statement that "The US is now in a position to survive a limited nuclear exchange!"...a statement that illustrates the total insanity that pervades some nations who are prepared to risk all to attain totalitarian control of the whole world.

I am afraid to say that the US, Israel and member nations of the UN are NOT helping to maintain world peace whilst continually rattling the sabre and threatening (calling the bluff) smaller nations with
dire consequences should they wish to arm themselves protectively!

Sanity MUST prevail and commonsense rule to end this stand-off!

McCackie,

Israel is a "true democracy", so what? Another "true democracy", the US has recently invaded Iraq, Afghanistan and devastated those nations, and since WW2, killed millions of innocent people. Israel's status as a democracy is no guarantee that it's not a menace to its neighbours or that it has the moral high ground.

Please, will one nation in the world give Iran a nuke! This would stop the madness of the Israelis once and for all and end any chance of WW3 beginning.

Israel has had free rein for far too long. Like the U.S., it is not a nation that can be trusted to have power or to use it wisely.

Kiss your children each night!

This does not make the West and US immoral, it empowers them. The long Fascist onslaught, really a Hundred Year War that started with Hitler / Stalin, continued with Brezhnev / Mao and continues with Al Qaeda has been stopped with blood and must continue to be so.
There was a lot of blood during the Cold War and its current echoes in the Middle East but the difference can be seen between the doctrines of the then opposing forces of the West and the Intelligentsias’ blood brothers in the Soviet / Maoist enlightenment. Western forces had decision making and training to the Grunt level, if the Boss was dead you became the Boss. All could read maps, tactics included sideways and reverse movement and briefings were extensive. Soviets had no decision latitude, a rigid and non adapting hierarchy and Political officers who could and did shoot commanders for trying to manoeuvre (move not just forward). (An old joke was Warsaw trained troops went in threes, one could read, the other had the map and the last one watched the dangerous radicals.)
Iran is a divided nation ruled by Fascists hence people are merely to be expended. Israel is not an existential threat to it while Iran is to Israel; Iran has no right to the Bomb.

This article, given that Israel is giving strong indications that it is going to nuke Iran, should be receiving thousands of comments. We are talking here about the possible extinction of the human race in a nuclear holocaust.

Is that what you want? Perhaps you don't care? Perhaps gay marriage is more important?

As prior to WW2, most of the world is brain-dead. Keep in mind that Hitler didn't have nukes!

Israel has lots of them!

DavidG:
You are expressing the same sentiment as myself. I have often
lost interest in continuing posts to different topics when the replies and comments have reached the apathetic stage eg: when posters who cannot spell, compose or formulate sensible and legible comments, appear to enjoy seeing their very own gibberish, which is usually critical of the views and opinions of other posters, plastered across the pages of this forum!

With reference to this article, it would seem that most readers are,
a) Completely dissinterested in the subject.
b) Too frightened to even contemplate the possible implications.
c) Too ignorant and/or stupid to understand the seriousness of the situation.....(Ostrich Syndrome!)

The gullible masses seem to think that "even if something does happen, then the good `ole boys will look after us!"....God help us all!
