I do not for a moment believe that Iran has ever claimed it would use atomic weapons to attack Israel, BB. As a matter of fact, the Iranians claim is that they are do NOT have any plan to even make any atomic bombs....they claim they have a nuclear project to generate power. That is what they say. And no one has proven otherwise, though you would like it to be so, so you can prove they are the lunatics you would wish them to be, so you can justify attaking them.

How, therefore, can they be saying they are going to bomb Israel with atomic weapons? They cannot simultaneously be saying that and also saying that they have no nuclear weapons program, after all. ;-)

Israel's deady and ruthless intentions have been demonstrated already, over and over again, about as many times as those of their enemies. They kill whoever they want to and invade whoever they want to, simply because they can. They have the power to do it, and the backing of the USA as well, and that's enough to do it quite freely. Their Muslim enemies do not have that luxury, so they resort to more clandestine techniques, like suicide bombings and firing rockets and so on. The powerful launch military strikes in broad daylight...the weak practice guerrilla warfare from the shadows. Their intentions toward one another are much the same. They both wish to do deadly harm and defeat the other one.

As for Canada, I have never claimed my country is totally innocent in regards to the matters you keep bringing up about asbestos. ;-) It's not. The allmighty dollar rules here, just like it does everywhere else, and they who make it (coporations) care not whose lives they destroy in the process.

No, you are the one who apparently feels compelled to paint Israel as totally innocent...as the eternally guiltless victim. They are not totally innocent. They too are selfish and they too hurt other people for their own gain. That is my only point. There are no "good guys" in that dispute, other than the innocent civilians on both sides who suffer when the violence happens.
