Israel's role?
Reader comment on item: Symposium: The Showdown [with Iran]

Submitted by Yehoshua Zeller (United States), Jul 30, 2005 at 19:31

Dr. Pipes,
Your point is well taken about the USA role in Iran, but how will Israel be involved as they would be the primary target of the nuclear threat? The dirty bomb is my main concern here especially since the USA has made it public that they won't "racially profile" Muslims! ...not even Prince Charles.

P.S. Hezbollah is not the Hamas nor Islamic Jihad type groups. They will take direct action wherever and whenever needed. USA cities would be directly affected. Iran's whole history has been that they were the most fierce fighters in the world included in the Roman Empire...even though Jews gave them the most problems.
