Palin support for bombing Iran

Reader comment on item: Sarah Palin Endorses 'Bomb Iran'

Submitted by Janusz Kowalik (United States), Feb 8, 2010 at 18:39

Palin indeed is the only major politician taking a stand on the bombing Iran issue.Does it come from a careful realistc analysis of the consequences ,or from the lack iof her foreign and military experience and understanding what this move would mean for the international community, allies and enemies.

In my humble opinion nuclear bombing of Iran should be considered only if EU, Russia and China support this terrible solutiion or if we have a solid proof that Iranians plan or have built a neclear weapon. Repeating Bush flimsy justification of invading Iraq is totally unacceptable for US.Such a serious action can not be justified by any political reasons like saving the presdency.Bombing Iran can only be justified by self defence of ourselves or an an important ally such as Israel. .
