They ain't building nuclear weapons

[Taxmancometh]

No, they just hate Israel.

Until there's proof that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, Israel should stay out of their business.

But it won't stop Iran from trying to provoke Israel into making the first move so a military response seems justified. That's all they've been doing for the past 30 years. If they ever started something, the entire Western world would come down on them and they know that. There's no point in dying a glorious death if you leave no sons behind to tell of your legacy.

So that's why they have several nuclear sites all over the country some of which are hidden underground?

Yes, nuclear facilities are often built underground for public safety purposes. That doesn't mean they're weapons plants.

Like I said, if Iran makes a first move, the Western world, etc. If we find out that they have a weapons program, things will not go well for them.

I don't remember the U.S. doing that. Building them underground. The only thing we built underground was nuclear weapons testing structures. Are uranium enrichment plants here in America built underground?

I take those crazy seriously .. It's in their religion to destroy Israel and ... of course , all the Infidels . You can't reason with a fanatic religiously driven .

[Taxmancometh]

Wow! And your from Lebanon??

[Whir]

I'm pretty sure that most American reactors are underground. The structures above ground are not the reactor itself. With our satellite surveillance, it would be easier to disguise a weapons factory as a normal nuclear power facility than to sneakily build one. Probably.

Wow! And your from Lebanon??

Yes , I'm a Lebanese Phoenician Maronite ... Not Arab ..

[Taxmancometh]

Oh.

Back to Israel, Iran seems to be trying to goad Israel into "starting something". Iran won't nuke Israel even if it has a nuke, it will just try to intimidate them and those who are friendly with them to isolate them as much as possible. I doubt they will give it to terrorists since the "radiological fingerprint" will point back to Iran, and the USA will be forced to act.

Iran knows if it fires a missile of the right weight and trajectory to be mistaken for a nuke, that will be the end of Tehran as they know it, unless Israel decides to absorb the blow "just to be sure", then retaliate with much greater force

I don't believed Iran is that stupid.

[Taxmancometh]

I don't believed Iran is that stupid.

Oh I do! They have a whack job of a President over there.

[Taxmancometh]

[Chuckiechan]

They can declare it "shut off", but have no way to shut it off. I suspect that is a cloak of dependability by the weak wristed Saudi's.

The Saudi king also has a chat with Ahmadinejad, which some see as and anti Israel signal, but I'm not so sure.

If anything the kettle is boiling a little more.

Yes ...This quote from the Article explain it all : Lebanon and the Maronites are inseparably attached. The Maronites have survived the storms of invasion, occupation, repression and suppression for over 1600 years,

Of course the storms here means tha arabs

[Theophylact]

Wow! And your from Lebanon??

You know, not everyone in Lebanon is Muslim.

[Chuckiechan]

Of course the storms here means tha arabs

Yes. Especially the ones murdering the Christians.

Hi Theophylact ...
Some forty years ago , you would say , not everyone in Lebanon is Christian ... Somehow it's reversed today .
The Christians became weak in numbers and many fled the country due to the continuous wars against them . That also include the others wars that , intentionally , make Lebanon their battlefield .. Add to that The always conspiracies from arab states to finish the last real stronghold of Christianity in the Middle East continue as a constant agenda , although camouflaged sometimes . Yet , Lebanese Christians always rely on the support of some 7 millions Lebanese Christians spread mostly in Brazil and America ..
This support , other than economical and financial support , is a dream when and if 2 or 3 millions come back ... To come back , Peace is needed ..Sadly , the enemies know that ..
