Well now this is surprising. No, as best I can tell my initial comment does not contain even one inaccuracy, unless of course I missed the finer nuances of some point and someone wants to call that an "inaccuracy". One point of note is that the CIA is partly responsible for the trouble in Iran following the coup and setting up of the Shah, and the subsequent events. US foreign policy has often been foolish or based upon the views of foolish men. But this does not change the facts on the ground TODAY. Iran is seeking to make a nuclear weapon. This is verified by the laptop documents, and intelligence reports. Iran has openly threatened Israel publicly at least twice in the past year. True, Israel isn't without sin, and they have made some serious mistakes and have had lapses of sound judgment, but they do not deserve to be destroyed as a nation. The Jews have been persecuted more than any other people in human history. They have a right to a homeland, their ancient homeland, they have a right to exist in peace, and they have the right to defend themselves against a nation whose leader has threatened them and lied to the international community of their real intentions. It's really as simple as that. Those are all truths, although there are some finer details to consider, but this is true of every situation such as this, and extensive historical analysis is not possible in a website comment. But the bottom line is that there are no blatant inaccuracies in my initial comment.

It's a shame that those who distrust Iran are referred to as "hawkish". The definition most often connected to this word indicates that the person is pro-war, or at the very least unwilling to compromise on the view that peace comes through strength. Well, I'm not "hawkish", do not like or encourage war or stockpiling, but I also do not trust Iran. They have demonstrated through their actions, and it is proven through authenticated leaked documents and reliable intelligence, that their intention is to create nuclear weapons; nuclear energy for electricity is a ruse. They haven't threatened the USA, they haven't threatened China, they haven't threatened Russia, but they HAVE threatened Israel, openly and repeatedly. Regardless of ones views of the Jews they have the right to defend themselves against a hostile power anxious to destroy them. Even the mere threat of unprovoked military action against another country is grounds for a pre-emptive strike. If you were on the playground at school and a bully told you and everyone that he was going to kill you, and began showing evidence of creating a weapon, then you would have every right to protect yourself in any way and incapacitate them. (Webster's - Incapacitate: to deprive of ability, qualification, or strength; make incapable or unfit; disable) The Jews have been persecuted more than any other people, and that for thousands of years. Now, a nation is producing nuclear weapons at the same time as stating (more than once) that Israel should be wiped off the map. Nuclear weaponry can do just that. Israel is the size of New Jersey, and Iran is the size of Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho combined. If something isn't done within the next twelve to sixteen weeks then Israel is in terrible danger. Only one bomb is needed to wipe them off the map. That takes care of "the Jewish question" - doesn't it?
