    It is the opposite, Netanyahu wants to attack Iran as soon as possible. I doubt that Iran will ever initiate a war of aggression against Israel.

    Exactly, this whole thing is just a war propaganda to mark Iran as a villian to nuke it out.

    They're not stupid, Iran know it's surronded. If they decided to attack somebody they'd wipe it out in less than a hour.

    Unless they have a solid evidance that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon they have no justification to blow it up.

    And if someone ever decides to go nutjob on the nukes there, how will your foreign relations help exactly?

    Yes I can, I work heavily alongside US forces, I know that they are stretched even thinner than our forces are. Do you know suicide rates are at an all time high in the US military? Long deployments and deploying too often is taking its toll. You think you can take and hold a third country in the same area with no serious issues?

    There are soldiers of other nations involved in the Middle East you know? It isn't just the Americans going it on their own.

    Yes, that's why even the Japanese acknowledge it.

    And why does Israel want to attack Iran? Because of the nuclear program. Advocating the completion of the Iranian nuclear program as a deterrent for a war that would be caused by the nuclear program doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    I've been following this shitstorm for years now and honestly I'm at the point where China needs to cut ties and just fucking get rid of Iran. The UNSC has not done shit to stop Iran from becoming a bigger threat and the closest person that can reasonably deal with it is China. You do not want a fucking nation that supports terrorism to have nuclear power, especially when its veil is non-existent and is really being used for weapons. I would not shed a single tear if Iran was removed from maps.

    "There is little point in attempting precisely to impute Japan's unconditional surrender to any one of the numerous causes which jointly and cumulatively were responsible for Japan's disaster. The time lapse between military impotence and political acceptance of the inevitable might have been shorter had the political structure of Japan permitted a more rapid and decisive determination of national policies. Nevertheless, it seems clear that, even without the atomic bombing attacks, air supremacy over Japan could have exerted sufficient pressure to bring about unconditional surrender and obviate the need for invasion."

    From your own link, the bombing saving lives is not necessarily true, it is still open for debate.

    Let them get one, not like they'll use it without being blown up, although according to Obama they are years away from making one.

    Here's a quote for you:
    Historian Robert P. Newman concluded that each month that the war continued in 1945 would have produced the deaths of 'upwards of 250,000 people, mostly Asian but some Westerners.'"[27]
    In one more month of war with the Japanese, more would have been killed than the atomic bombs killed.

    It isn't the only reason thought, Hamas and Hezbollah are two other reasons why Israel wants Iran off the game. Taking off the supplier is easier in this case then taking them off.

    Then I'm pretty glad you're not the one in power.

    Great job cherry-picking.

    Here's your very own Winston Churchill:

    “ There were those who considered that the atomic bomb should never have been used at all. I cannot associate myself with such ideas… I am surprised that very worthy people—but people who in most cases had no intention of proceeding to the Japanese front themselves—should adopt a position that rather than throw this bomb we should have sacrificed a million American and a quarter of a million British lives…

    Winston Churchill, leader of the Opposition, in a speech to the British House of Commons, August 1945[7]
    Oh, but what did he know about the war?
