The Unthinkable Consequences of an Iran-israel Nuclear Exchange
Reader comment on item: The Unthinkable Consequences of an Iran-Israel Nuclear Exchange
in response to reader comment: Irresponsible comments
Submitted by Debbie (United States), Jul 6, 2008 at 20:48
Its absolutely ludicrous to expect Israel to remain quiet, while Iran arms itself for nuclear capacity. Israel does not protest by going around bombing people without provocation, using suicide bombers, or bombing German discos, hotels, and mosques in the holy land. They have tried to work throught the centuries making progress on medicine, inventions, productive businesses.
What has Radical Islam brought to mankind that we can benefit from, but death and destruction? The whole world is threatened by Iran, this is not just an Israeli situation. ICBMS could make it to the coast of New York, California, Texa, Europe, or anywhere, if Iran does not curtail. This is a Nation Watch Problem for all mankind!
Dr. Wafa Sultan on Al Jazeera TV said it best, Backwardness and Ignorance have made the Koran and Radical Islam unacceptable for peace loving people.
