Iran, Israel and Nukes

Mr. Iran is determined to acquire the nuclear genie. Mymood is rubbing that lamp as hard as he can. He wants to write his own version of the Arabian Nights fable. Fable indeed when it is Muslim. A U.N. official has said that the middle east will turn into a fireball if Israel attacks Iran. What? Before or after Mr. Iran gets his nuclear genie. Sundry Hollywood scripts are passing through my head again.

Israel has just conducted some military exercises meant as an obvious signal to Iran. Perhaps Israel thinks this would be a better solution than a protracted American invasion of Iran. They've done it before and everything worked out ok.

For the record the position of this rag is for the nuclear disarmament of all countries but aggressive governments get special attention.
