Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and will not work with Ahmadinejad or Iran's mullahs.
(Interview- Answer:
However, Iran is pursuing the goal of further developing its nuclear program to the point that, if the situation were to warrant it, it could develop a relatively extensive arsenal of nuclear weapons within a very short time. This, at least, is something that I am convinced of.
That's is why we should be patient? Giving them time to realize it? Hmmm!
An attack would delay Iran's nuclear program, but Iranian countermeasures could lead to a massive increase in oil prices and the all the consequences for the global economy that would go with it. It could also bring about an unwanted destabilization of the Iranian regime. I think that the global community, and especially US President Barack Obama, are not interested in getting into a military confrontation that could spiral out of control.
I am not convinced that 'Bibi' keeps his feet quiet when Mossad intelligence tells him imminent threat. Already forgotten? Ahmadinejad and the mullahs want to wipe Irael off the map. A second holocaust will not occur.
It could also bring about an unwanted destabilization of the Iranian regime.
Uh oh, we should be interested in keeping Ahmadinejad in power? Appeasement at its best. B.s.
I'd rather have Arab Spring there if the people decided to get rid of their leaders, mullahs included.

#1 - Thu Feb 23, 2012 3:23 AM ESTI guess you didn't learn anything from the Iraq war. You probably didn't have much of a dog in that fight... you probably weren't kin to any of the nearly 5,000 US soldiers that died there for nothing, nor are you likely kin to any of the 1.4 million Iraqis that died for nothing, nor do you likely care about the trillions of dollars wasted there for nothing... unless of course you stand to gain some of the trillions of dollars spent going to war for no reason. WMD's my ass!

In one way Im all for the strike against iran, but the US is not in a position to invade, nor is it ready to face potential counterstrikes from both russia, north korea, and china, and not to mention bringing on another world war. All and all I think this religious warefare BS between islam, and judaism is just ridiculous, and insane, and war based upon religion period.
