You seem very upset that we haven't started another stupid war.

It is one thing to build a nuke---it is quite another to have the ability to carry it across an entire ocean to deliver it. Iran will never be a nuclear threat to the United States.

If they did nuke us, there will be nothing left of them nor will the land be habitable for a long time. That attitude worked on both the Soviets and upon ourselves on behalf of the Soviets and in the case of Iran, they have no real arsenal even if I were to concede they have a nuke but I'm not willing to do that because there is no evidence of such.
The other problem is delivery. Iran has no air means of delivery to the US and not likely they would hand deliver. It's sad your hysteria won't allow you to think but it sure makes for easy manipulation by liars who love to do so.

I noticed you chose not to respond to wkmac. Good choice---you don't have the mental prowess to go toe-to-toe with wkmac.

Actually, it was an Iraqi site they bombed, not an Iranian one. And do you know who helped them? Iran. Israel bombed the Iraqi Osirak reactor complex in 1981, during the Iran/Iraq war, and prior to the attack they received permission from the Iranian government (who also wanted the reactor destroyed) to use an Iranian airfield as an emergency landing option in case any of the strike aircraft were damaged and unable to make it back to Israel.

"if they did.." they would go for the east coast where all the population is!!!
By saying "if" then maybe the possibility exists unlike your statement with "never" in it.

More, only you would think you can smash a guy on the toe with a hammer and get away with it while he holds a loaded shotgun with the barrel shoved inside your mouth.

Nice try with the selective quoting. Care to go back, re-read his post, and try again?

No they wont. If you look at the military history of Isreal over the last 50 years the one constant truth is that they will not hesitate to attack pre-emptively when they feel their survival is at stake. They didnt get our permission in '67, they didnt get our permission in '81 when they bombed Osirak, and they didnt get our permission when they bombed the Syrian site. I highly doubt they would bother asking for our permission now.

It is a widely held belief that any Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities will, out of both necessity and mutual interest, involve the tacit cooperation of Saudi Arabia.
Israeli aircraft lack the range to make it to Iran and back without refueling. Air-to-air refueling over enemy airspace is problematic, especially given Israels limited tanker resources. They will need a land base, or at the very least airspace free of enemy fighters in order to refuel their strike aircraft. One look at a map will show the likely location of both options, especially in light of the fact that the Saudis fear Iran's nuclear ambitions as much if not more than Israel does.
