IF Israel Attacks Iran.. whats should USA do?

[Danno 1,228]

From news reports it looks more and more likely Israel may take direct action against the Nuclear capabilities of Iran.

MOst assume this would be throwing gasoline on the fires of the Mideast.

If Israel should launch an attack..... what should our roll be?

Condemn them. Why do we even care about Israel? I am so tired of the US feeling like we need to support other countries. If we'd stop messing with other coutries, the world just might give us a little bit of respect. Actually, had we never messed with anyone in the first place could you imagine how much better off the US would be?

Isreal needs to know that we will not support them.

This is really scary for me. I honestly think this will lead to WWIII.

If it does happen we should support their "LIMITED action against a direct threat to the safety and security of their citizens" and seek multilateral support that will immediately hand control of all direct action over to UN forces.

We have to stay neutral in this fight. So does Russia, China, India, and every other country on this planet. As soon as we pick sides, it's game over for the entire world.

Perry would apparently give complete support to Israel.

“Obviously we are going to support Israel,” he said during an interview on CNN. ”And I’ve said that we will support Israel in every way that we can, whether it’s diplomatic, whether it’s economic sanctions, whether it’s overt or covert operations, up to and including military action.”

It would be interesting to know what exactly that means.

I support my wife's addiction to coffee, I also support my neighbors right to travel the world first class, only one of those costs me money.

I am sure that the U.S. military is stepping up its NBC training.

Iran will lash back as they should.We will retaliate as we have to because our troops in the region will be attacked. Russia and China will not interfere. Israel will be condemned by most but the sheep in the U.S. will watch their back.

[slim 1,514]

Why?

Because it's quite possible we could be on the opposite side of China, Russia or India. And that would be bad news.

We can't afford anymore wars and let em have at it and we keep to our own business.

China and India are no friends of Mohammedans - they have a lot of problems with Mohammedan extremism.

This one !

As to our role, it should be defensive only while we secretly give Israel any intel we have. Of course this will only hit the public spot light a decade later.
