For years the leading western scholar of Islam Prof Bernard Lewis has been warning that the mutual assured destruction doctrine will not work with Iran. Just recently, in the documentary Iranium he said :

“What makes this particularly alarming is the whole question of nuclear weapons. During the Cold War both the United States and the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons. That they did not use them, and they knew that we are not going to use them, because of what we used to call at that time MAD – Mutual Assured Destruction. Each side knew that if they used nuclear weapons the others would respond in kind and this would obliterate everybody.

With these people, with their apocalyptic mindset, mutual assured destruction is not a deterrent, it is an inducement “

Reza Kahlili, the CIA agent who for 10 years risked his life working under cover as a member of the Iranian Republican Guards, said:

“Once they get the nuclear bomb, and they have the nuclear capability, and anybody can determine this because they are running multiple convert operations, parallel projects of nuclear bomb and missile delivery systems. It is a parallel project for one purpose, and I can argue both sides of the coin, but my belief is that .this is a messianic regime, there should be no doubts, they will commit the most horrendous suicide bombing in human history. They will attack Israel, European capitals and Persian Gulf region at the same time, then they will hide in a bunker waiting for the Mahdi to get out of that well, ride the white horse, draw that sword and kill the rest of the nonbelievers.”

Israel will soon have a four tier missile defense system consisting of Arrow3, Arrow 2, David’s Sling and Iron Dome, protecting Israel from the Iran launched missiles to ones launched from the Gaza strip. But even this sophisticated system is not perfect and it is obvious that MAD is dead. Israel is not the US, and would not survive if even one bomb launched by the undeterred by MAD Iranians penetrates the Israeli defenses.

This leads us to the inevitable conclusion that Israel will have to destroy with a preemptive strike the Iranian nuclear facilities. Stuxnet gave Israel some time. It is now running out.

Excuse me, I live in Israel, and even if my family and I somehow survived the blast I would not find it easy to live in a country where several hundred thousand people had been incinerated. Stanley Kubrick is one of my favorite film directors, but you have to differentiate between film and reality. Wake up!

John Bolton did not know about Stuxnet at the time he made that statement. The real question is what are the consequences of NOT attacking Iran.

Here is a quote from Ahmadinejad’s address to the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2009:

"The world is in continuous change and evolution. The promised destiny for the mankind is the establishment of
the humane pure life. Will come a time when justice will prevail across the globe and every single human being will enjoy respect and dignity. That will be the time when the Mankind's path to moral and spiritual perfectness will be opened and his journey to God and the manifestation of the God's Divine Names will come true. The mankind should excel to represent the God's "knowledge and wisdom", His "compassion and benevolence", His "justice and fairness", His "power and art", and His "kindness and forgiveness". These will all come true under the rule of the Perfect Man, the last Divine Source on earth, Hazrat Mahdi (Peace be upon him); an offspring of the Prophet of Islam, who will re-emerge, and Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) and other noble men will accompany him in the accomplishment of this, grand universal mission. And this is the belief in Entezar (Awaiting patiently for the Imam to return). Waiting with patience for the rule of goodness and the governance of the Best which is a universal human notion and which is a source of nations' hope for the betterment of the world.

"They will come, and with the help of righteous people and true believers will materialize the man's long-standing desires for freedom, perfectness, maturity, security and tranquility, peace and beauty. They will come to put an end to war and aggression and present the entire knowledge as well as spirituality and friendship to the whole world.

"Yes; Indeed, the bright future for the mankind will come."

Dr Strangelove , this is the answer to your next response where there was no reply icon . You say: .”Quite frankly, I think we could hit them pretty hard without necessarily absorbing a nuclear attack .I think it's worth a try.”

I fully agree that Israel has to preempt and attack the Iranian nuclear facilities BEFORE Iran acquires the bomb but attack not for the nonsensical reasons Bob Baer gives.

You do not seem to have internalized the main point
of what Bernard Lewis says “ With these people, with their apocalyptic
mindset, mutual assured destruction is not a deterrent, it is an INDUCEMENT“ In other words, Iranian mullahs are LOOKING FORWARD to a nuclear war since that will be the trigger that will bring back the Mahdi.

You forget that Japan is 377,915 sq km / 20,770 sq km = 18.19 times the size of Israel.

kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O
Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!”

Article 13: “There is no
solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals

So Erdogan, the leader who stormed out of the Davos meeting in January 2009 when President Shimon Peres read to him Article 7 of the Hamas Charter is now coming to Gaza? Let us recall what Peres read to him before Erdogan got up and left:

Article 7: “The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!”

This whole conflict with Turkey is becoming a tragicomedy. On the
one hand you have an Islamist who thinks he can coerce Israel into submission, while on the other you have some people in Israel ( and of course the Obama administration) who still believe that Turkey can be saved. It is about time they realize that Turkey is lost.

Netanyahu, an admirer of Winston Churchill, should recall what Churchill said about appeasement “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

But the very possibility that the Israeli government is even considering a partial apology is troubling. It just shows how deeply ignorant our politicians are about the mindset of Islamists like Erdogan.

Mladen_Andrijasevic — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 03:49:01 -0000

Hamas admitted that between 600 and 700 of its militants were killed during Operation Cast Lead – a figure consistent with that reported by the Israel Defense Forces.
As Alan Dershowtz wrote “The Israel
Defense Force put the total number of known combatants killed at 709 and the number of known civilian deaths at 295, with 162 (mostly men of fighting age) "unknown." Such a ratio, if true, would be far better than that achieved by any other nation in a comparable conflict. Not surprisingly, Israel's enemies initially disputed this ratio and claimed that the number of combatants
killed was far lower and the number of civilians far higher. The United Nations, the Goldstone Report, various "human rights" organizations and many in the media automatically rejected Israel's documented figures, preferring the distorted numbers offered by Hamas' and other Palestinian
sources.”

What do you have to say about Hamas’s constitution, their Charter, whose Article 7 says:
"The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them,
so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews."

Mladen_Andrijasevic — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:08:54 -0000

But the quote in the Hamas Charter is from Hadith Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177 written CENTURIES BEFORE the State of Israel was established. What is the connection? All the more so when all the Israelis left the Gaza Strip five years ago.

I have quoted Hamas’s Charter Article 7. Now find in the Likud’s platform anything that has to do with the destruction
of Palestinians and QUOTE IT! You will
not be able to because it does not exist. It is simply a product of your projection when you expect everyone else to have your warped mindset.

From the Jerusalem Post of July 13, 2011:
Bolton had equally strong words to say about the Palestinian bid for some type of statehood recognition at the UN in September, something he said should not – as it is in Israel and elsewhere – be getting more attention and energy than the Iranian nuclear threat.Israel’s proper response to the move, he said, is “not to pay any attention to it, and to care no more about it than the grass you tread beneath your feet.”Without referring directly to Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s oft-quoted comment that Israel faced a “diplomatic tsunami” in September, Bolton – who served as US envoy to the UN from 2005-2006 – said “if you make the General Assembly into something more than what it is, than you are giving it authority and legitimacy it doesn’t have.”

Luis Rene Beres and John T. Chain write “Israel’s leaders would have to determine the likely deterrence benefit of their own perceived irrationality. An irrational Iranian enemy could be less likely to strike first if it felt Israel’s decision-makers were also irrational.

Unfortunately the exact opposite is the truth . According to Bernard Lewis , the leading Western scholar of Islam, to the Iranian mullahs "mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent—it's an inducement." In other words, the Iranian mullahs would WELCOME a nuclear war since a nuclear war would trigger the return of the Mahdi. An irrational Iranian enemy would be MORE likely to strike first if it felt Israel’s decision-makers were also irrational.

Israel almost apologized to Turkey under US pressure! This is bad, bad news. That Netanyahu could be pushed into such a stupid move is almost unbelievable. Even taking into account that Netanyahu is under incredible pressure from the most anti-Israel US president in history, it still does not make sense that Netanyahu came so close to apologizing to Turkey.

After all, Israel is alone facing Iran. Only Israel understands the words of the leading western expert on Islam Bernard Lewis who said that for the Iranians " mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent—it's an inducement ". The Iranians are looking forward to a nuclear confrontation because they believe it would trigger the return of the Mahdi. Obama still does not realize that the MAD doctrine is dead. Appeasing Turkey is just a preliminary step to trying to appease Iran, and that would be a disaster.
