Israel must destroy Iran's nuclear threat

As I see it, Israel doesn't have any choice but to neutralize Iran's nuclear program by devastating air strikes. Letting the madmen in Iran acquire nuclear weaponry and using it to "wipe Israel off the map" cannot be allowed to happen. Negotiations and sanctions will absolutely not work with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his fanatic Imam friends because they believe they will be instrumental in hastening the apocalyptic return of the mahdi and that Allah will give them the victory over the infidels and Jews, and that they will also be instrumental in bringing the Great Satan (the USA) to its knees. Sanctions won't work because the Russians and Chinese will continue their mutually beneficial dealings with the Iranians.

The U.N. is full of meaningless blather about sanctions and restrictions, and since most of the European countries have become more acommodating to Islamist influence and are being pressured by their own hostile Muslim populations, this course of action would be futile. The U.S. must support Israel in ridding Iran of its nuclear capability; of course the Arab states will react with outrage and vituperation, but they will not have the "cojones" for invading Israel.

The Israelis need a leader like Bibi Netanyahu!
