So we offer them nuclear technology, and they still don't want to deal with the world. What next UN/EU? Should we just drop off some of our older Nuke's. No worries though.

Agreed.

While he and his administration have caused several of the current problems we have, this is not one of them. The one thing the US cannot do is strike Iran unilaterally. Europe has to make a desicion on this one.

Europe will sit on its collective ass and wait for its good old Uncle Sammy to bail them out again.

It will be another 'UN' action but with US military and hardware. Just like the 'UN' no fly zones in Iraq before the 2nd war...

Yeah if Syria gets in it Iran won't be far behind. WWIII looks a lot closer to reality.

World War III is going on right now in the minds of much of the middle east.

The truth is that none of those podunk countries can touch the US in traditional armed conflict, so they've found a way to fight effectively without following the old rules of warfare. The US could end the whole thing in one glass-parking-lot-creating second, but the ramifications of that kind of action would be irreparable and the anti-American fighters know it. So they continue to wage a small scale war based on fear. And its working. Welcome to the new world war.

Yeah I think I heard Colin Powel saying that WWIII has been going on for the last 10 years or so.

Israeli City Of Haifa Hit By Rocket Attack

Israeli officials say a rocket has hit the Israeli city of Haifa, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Earlier today, Brig. Gen. Yossi Baidatz, commander of the research arm of Israeli military intelligence, told a parliamentary committee that Hezbollah had about 100 missiles with a range of 25 to 44 miles, a participant in the meeting said.

That would put the cities of Haifa and Tiberias within range. The participant didn't name the missile.

Also, Iran may now be drawn into Israel's battle with its neighbors.

Israel has information that Lebanese guerrillas who captured two Israeli soldiers are trying to transfer them to Iran, the Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Thursday.

Israel's army chief Brig. Gen. Dan Halutz warned that "nothing is safe" in Lebanon and said Beirut itself - particularly Hezbollah offices and residences - would be a target.

Hezbollah also has thousands of Katyusha rockets that have a range of about 12 miles, Baidatz said, according to the participant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.

In the strikes on the northern Israeli towns, Hezbollah said it was using a rocket called Thunder 1 for the first time. The missiles appeared to be more advanced than the inaccurate Katyusha.

Israel intensified its attacks against Lebanon on Thursday, blasting Beirut's international airport and the southern part of the country in its heaviest air campaign against its neighbor in 24 years.

The shockwaves from the fighting began to be felt a day after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid. Western countries, Russia and the United Nations called for restraint and demanded the soldiers be released.

The army launched an incursion into the Gaza Strip more than two weeks ago to search for another Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas-linked militants.

Supposedly the Captured Israeli soldiers are being smuggled into IRAN

i guess attacking a intl airport in beirut really helps stop the militant.
