Israel

In contrast, the one potential force that still might stop Iran is the Government of Israel; and the only way it can obstruct the Iranian program is through the use of force (as opposed to economic sanctions or computer viruses). Whether or not Netanyahu and his colleagues decide to deploy military force is the only question hanging over the mullahs' acquisition of a nuclear arsenal.

I feel sorry for this country, Israel, to tell you the truth. It has big problems. Thank god I am in the USA.

Israel has to be ready to use force and go it alone, like Netanyahu said. It's his country, not Europe or the USA, that could blow up to smithereens, and that has bearing.
