I do not see Iran as a small country when it is on eve of nuclear power ...

Russia and Iran are the combined threat. Russia gives Iran all the missiles they need to knock Israeli or U.S. jets out of the sky and thereby protects Iran's stated agenda - wiping out Israel. And who do you suppose is next after Israel?

The Islamic intent and threat cannot be understated. I am curious to see what Mr. Tovey's answer is to your question to him on Israel's future aims. Personally, I think Israel's only hope eventualy is through the Messiah they have rejected. Miracles on a global scale would happen if God's favored people were to see who he was and still is.

I don't anticipate that happening, though. Israel's only recourse is to fight to the bitter end under its current belief system which is mostly secular right now. That "secular" stance is going to take it right down the same sell-out mealy-mouthed road the U.S. is on.
