This coming from a nation (Canada) with recent military actions against other sovereign states like Serbia, Haiti, and Libya that posed no such threat. Israel has faced the real deal for decades....it's not a human rights game for them.

At least you admit that Libya was not a threat. Currently one of the books I am reading is called 'Imperialistic Canada' by Tom Gordon. Yes Canada has done some horrible things in it's past. I am not happy about it.

Perplexity and dynamics of these relationships in MiddleEast is difficult to comprehend, especially if one hasn't had first hand experience. As I said, the whole notion of Iran becoming nuclear has nothing to do with religious nutjob, wiping Israel off the map, and all common beliefs but has everything to do with shifting the balance if power in favor of Iran and protect their national interest against foreign meddling.

you must be an american sharkman, thats totally what they said on foxnews

This is also what some in Israel think, does that make me a Jewish American Fox watcher? Good to see you watch Fox news, however. For the record I am a proud Canadian that really feels it when he sings the national anthem(that's right, I sing it out loud!) at a hockey game, hehe.

Ummmm...yea...I think we have already stated as much many times. Goes back to the very knarle idea of an Arab Bomb (Pakistan), but Iranians are Persians. Same deal.

Yeah, you should try the humane compassion sometimes especially about countries that often get negative coverage in the news every now and then...

Would you tell me how well Iran treats its gays, lesbians, transvestites and transexuals?

Read DOP's comments prior to my post before being selective on human rights issues. That said your point is valid in so far as human rights issues is concerned in Iran today.

It is good to see that atleast you do show compassion for those groups. The point of contention is people use this as a pretext to attack, kill Iranians (including gays, lesbians, etc etc) to justify "liberation" and removal of threat to Israel with their actions. That would have far more grave consequences for the region and Israel if that is the pretext.

There are plenty of arab countries including friendly Saudis with far worse human rights issues than Iran. Those concerns don't yet get much humane compassionate coverage do they?!

Yes they do...in the way of Canadian (NATO) strike missions.

Really? Have the arabs in the shape of (the monarch royal puppets) residing in Saudi Arabia been under the Canadian (NATO) strike mission? Hmmm! That's news to me!

Oh please....Canada has it's own sock puppets for royals as well. Why were there any Canadian strike aircraft in the region...Israel happens to actually be there!

BC, are you familiar with ham radio slang? Kids are 'harmonics', with bosses there are 'big knobs' and 'little knobs' depending on their rank and so on.

Here we see a thread full of 'lids'! :lol:

how does israel bomb iran without flying over Iraq? it needs US approval...if permission is given then the US gets drawn into a war...if the suadi's give permission it becomes a target of iran, siding with the zionists against an islamic country won't go over well...

nothing happens without US approval and iran knows it...the last the thing the US needs at this time is another war...

so you say but I disagree... Israel has even said they might not talk about it with their allies before they do it

U.S influence is waning...they are barely a world power..they're just like every other country

normal

That's what Saddam thought too...he was a bad poker player. The problem with Iran's bomb isn't if, but how. It presents difficult technical "challenges" for precision strikes against hardened underground facilities. Time to test some bunker busters! ;)

that wasn't a justified war...they only wanted saddam gone cause he was leaning away from the greenback when it came to oil

Israel obviously does not care about that. No matter if permission was granted from Iraq, Israel would fly over them to get to Iran, or they can find another way to get there. Going over Iraq is but one option.

Why would Israel give a damn what U.S says? U.S will still send them aid by the billions no matter what

There's just too many Israelis pulling the strings

They will get away with it

look at a map turkey, iraq or suadi there is no other way and to fly iran and none of those countries will give permission and israel has no long range bombers...to do so allies those countries with the zionists, to do so involves them in a war with iran... Edited by wyly

because americans will die, the gulf states do not want a war with iran, the world economy hangs in the balance, the price of crude oil will go through the roof(as if it's not high enough now)...

So who gave Israel overflight rights when it bombed Iraq's Osirak nuclear power plant in 1981? Forgiveness is easier to get than permission.

You don't need to go over land to get to Iran. It's a longer trip, but can be done.

You make sense! If Israel decided that Iran was such an immediate threat that pissing off Uncle Sam and some of the other countries in the area was worth it they wouldn't hesitate for a minute!

It must look to them like a choice between some diplomatic problems and having a nuke dropped on their head is an easy choice indeed!
