| Nah... perhaps lob a few missiles in Jerusalem's direction, but more likely they would just let Hamas do their dirty work for them and provide them with weapons, sit back and smile.

| Absolutely not. Rather I think they are smart enough to engange is asymmetric warfare. Why fight a war on their soil when they can conveniently get others to do it on theirs on Iran's behalf.

| My question is will Russia or China side with Iran in the likely event that Israel does strike? Will they get involved? It's a powder-keg mate, looking for a spark. The U.S. forces are spread so thin with Iran and Afghanistan, I don't see how we could commit much effort. |

| What would happen?? The little squirt would start chucking missiles at everyone and I'm sitting here in Riyadh thank you very much. Israel would be ok with their Arrow defence but poor Europe relying on the Patriot would get hammered so would Saudi Remember Riyadh took 33 Scud hits in Desert Storm. If he wants a Nuke that bad give 'em one and if he has a carpet problem we can handle that too!!! Loose the dogs...... |

| ...its only a matter of time before Iran announces having joined "The Club". And then the race will be on for regional hegemony. Saudis, Egyptians, Syrians and all the wonderful Crapistan shining examples of peaceful rulership.

| Today, July 9th, Iran responded to Izrael's military excercize by demonstrating their new ballistic missiles that can reach Izrael and they said that they will use them if Izrael launches an air raid on Iran's nuclear facilities. |

| I'll put money down that Israel has some thing they can knock down a missile with...I would think any country would not show its cards in there hand ...I bet with all the tec this world has you could not get any missile very far off the ground.. Not that I know,, just a feeling... |
