Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

mna the only answer i have you would not like . why are muslim countrys allowing syrian muslims to be wiped out and say nothing some religion and think you will find money is more important than there relgion and now the world can see this is true

Israel have a deterrent at present to be used 'in extremis' with attacking countries having no reply. With neighbours having a nuclear weapon there is a reply and you have a standoff as the use of a nuclear wapom becomes pointless. It is what the cold war was based on and it worked quite well. Without the nuclear weapons that currently exist we would probably have had at least one of not more major wars since WWII. The attacks on Iran are just about support for Israel and little more.

I believe US can sort out all the problems by just being open and relax regarding threats. Iran is not like North Korea. They were closest Mid East country to Israel and US before revolution. They have never even attached any country before or after revolution, and are happy to discuss their activities.

Too much pressure will force them to build Nuclear Weapon to defend themselves. We should understand that they cannot allow access to their secrete military buildings. That's the case for any country.

Being friend with Iran makes access to many interesting things....

Off course Russia, China, Dubai, and many other countries in Asia prefer the conflicts to continue as they do not want to lose lucrative market of Iran to the west. They are milking Iran.

ahoj very true . HAY is not of this planet he lives a life of lies

Iran has to buy everything in black market - indirect from the countries who are against sanctioning Iran.

Important point is that their educational institutions were established by Britain and USA. They are very good and still receive very good scholarships for their students from Stanford, MIT etc.... If you do not believe me watch this clip.

CC ian as made a team going back to the top with NO MONEY

I have a meeting with a indian muslim tomorrow and she a a very nice person.

hay WHY is it that MUSLIM leaders do NOT want freedom for its people
I DO NO THAT YOU WILL NEVER ANSWER THE QUESTION AS IT HURTS

Answer is clear - Muslims who live freely don't like islamic country anymore!!!
But, we can not and should not give them freedom by force - diplomacy works faster and much cheaper...

TAnk,

How would you like the "Islamic" states to interfere in Syria?

What would be the cost in lives

More or less than at present?

Invading Iraq was a catastrophe.

The present death rate there now, would I assume, to be far higher than under Sadam.

It destabilised surrounding states and cause misery and chaos.

Invasion of Afghanistan by USA has been and is likely to fail with the colossal loss of life and destabilisation of surrounding countries.

Iran is called a war monger and yet it is the West USA, BRITAIN. who are invading other countries like "country" boys.


It ain't the religion. The problem is those who abuse the religions.

Religion is a factor. Many of the Islamic countries such as Pakistan have a population that is poor and poorly educated. The influence of reliigion is those countries is similar to the way it operated in say Europe a few hundred years ago. We used to burn and imprison heretics and followers of a different religion. Just look at the Reformation and the Sanish Inquisition. In fact it was a lot worse than current Islamic probems. We have a long wait until education improves and many of these societies develop.

well said Fred. "The problem is those who abuse the religions."

That's true in almost all religion based countries Iran, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and probably even in more western countries...

They misuse "religion based excuses" to run the country, and fight against others ... and some of them have fallen into the wrong believes which were originally initiated by themselves... That's why Islam in Saudi Arabia is different form Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia etc. The same is the case for Christianity and probably Jews.

As I always said, Internet is the solution for all these people, not war or any kinds of confrontation. Educating people takes time, so it has to happen gradually. The strategy should be slightly different..... off course.

thought you might support the inquisition; after all, in portugal especially the jews were a favourite target

fred . yes sadam was doing a great job and the world now knows this .
as i have said many times when is BLAIR AND BUSH going to be treid for crimes .
back to syria the muslim world leaders should attack them . full stop and hang all the murderers but they never do this as they are apart of the game .
they do not like there people having rights that is what it is albout

answer . because if they have freedom then the leaders are finished

Cynic,

"thought you might support the inquisition; after all, in portugal especially the jews were a favourite target"


Why were they the favourite target?

Is the present Israeli state trying to emulate that period again and martyr themselves?

Is it in the DNA?


If you are interested in the persecution in Portugal, as a man who wanders, visit Tomar. Beautiful small town.

You can see the evidence of past cultural clashes.
=================

Tinker,

Can't see much freedom in Iraq, Egypt, Libya.

I think the countries will move to their own type of democracies.

But the momentum for that will be due to the raising of economic standards, not outside boyscout patrols invading those countries with their notions of "democracy".

Fahel,

Very poignant.

The recent meeting of Obama and the Jewish lobby in recently showed the hypocrisy of Israeli position.


Obama chose his words carefully in his election period, but I doubt that he will sanction the use of USA military over Iran.

But Neties threats does little to resolve the ME problems and Israel leaders are being seen more and more as bully boys, by the majority of the world who are not in debt to them in some form or other.

Many of Israel's present leaders were terrorists and criminals and are unable to put that period of thuggery behind them.


Sad.
