CarolC,

"The thermonuclear war is going to come when the Bush administration wages war against Iran."

I do not agree with your opinion. IMO, it will START with the use of an Iranian supplied weapon by Hezbollah against Israel, as they have repeated threatened.


" It's going to start with their own (the Bush people) use of nuclear weapons. "

Nope.

"Of course, if the Bush people don't manage to get that accomplished I fully expect the next administration to try to do it, even if that administration is made up of Democrats."

IMO, the US will NOT use a nuclear weapon until after someone else has used a WMD on the US, or treaty partner.

"I've noticed that you keep using nuclear blackmail on behalf of Israel, beardedbruce."

No again. I am pointing out that IF Israel is destroyed by a nuclear weapon ( and it would only take one to do so), the Israelis would have no reason not to use thier 200 - 400 warheads on those they believed had destroyed Israel.


" Is the government of Israel also saying those kinds of things publicly? "

I do not speak for the Israeli government, just as YOU do not speak for Hezbollah or Iran, now do I?
