Anyways, Farsi uses the Arabic alphabet, but it's pretty much apples and oranges other than that.

Conversely, they all hate Iran too.

I think they all just hate eachother and only unify when the total sum of hate is greater than eachother.

True. The entire situation is complicated. Who knows how it will pan out.

Israel bombed Iraq without and real consequences..It really depends on the level of aggression, I think anyway, that Israel uses. I really don't see Iran's allies caring if just their uranium facilities get bombed..The worst that Iran can really do is sick Hezbolah on Israel..oh wait, lol.

Seriously though, no one is going to repeat the 6 day war, which is probably the first thought on everyones mind considering how quickly Israel chose to invade Lebanon. Israel would really really have to do something downright awful to get pounded again.

Wow, that is utterly mindblowing and makes me fear for the future of the world.

No not that, I'm talking about the fact that the goddamn Dutch have spies.

It will be amusing to see the blame game and probable dramatic rise in violent crime after the strait of hormuz becomes compromised for business, and possibly a war-zone, meanwhile the U.S. has zero energy solutions.

Israel has bombed Iraq AND Syria without repercussions. Iran is only different because they haven't had their asses kicked by Israel repeatedly in the last 40 years, the reaction from Iran is unpredictable. If they can target all those missiles they supposedly have, they can terror bomb Israel sort of like the Germans did to London in the 1940s and how Saddam did during Desert Storm.

Iran is a little far for Israel to attack directly without refueling stops in Iraq at US bases or the US allowing them to air to air refuel over Iraq. Not saying that won't happen, just that if the US was going to support an Israeli strike that way, we're probably just do it ourselves with stealth aircraft from Iraq.

I don't really see a problem with any of that, its not like if Israel does decide to attack the US is going to be completely blindsided and go "wtf just happend", we will see it coming and considering the whole stalwart allies thing, would definitely assist them in whatever way we can.

Theres only two things in this world that I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.

Isn't this site like the UK version of the National Enquirer or something? It's a Tabloid, right?
