    Hey, I can't spell his name either. And no, I'm not sticking up for him. I'm questioning your continued use of derisive nicknames for others, while complaining loudly - to the point of getting the moderators involved - about people calling you names. So, I'll ask again: Do we make fun of people's names, or don't we?

    Iran threatens to destroy Israel:

    Do you honestly believe he, if given the chance, would take Israel out? He does not believe the Holocaust happened. He does not believe Israel has the right to exist....

    What do you think the US/Western World should do if Israel gets nuked by Iran?

    I'd say that's very unlikely. IF that were to happen. Then the US would have free reign in the name of the free world to invade and occupy Iran forever and ever. It'd also have free reign to do whatever it took to achieve the invasion and occupation.

    so if iran launches a nuclear attack against Israel or the US, either directly or via a proxy of its, Israel/the USA/ the world is free to respond in kind?

    Yes of course if Iran directly launches a nuclear attack ,full retaliation would be warranted and necessary in order to uphold the principle of "assured destruction" .
    If a proxy is involved and it was absolutely verifiable that the nuke was Iranian in origin it should hold the same response.

    No way!

    You guys all fell into his trap.

    By nuking Iran you are punishing millions for the actions of a few. Similar (in concept, not magnitude) to our responses to 9/11.

    There are other options than responding in kind. Response yes, but not necessarily in kind.

    And by response, I don't mean crying to the UN ("mommy"). With our military we have plenty of other options.

    I would hope that the deterrent of mutually assured destruction would be enough to keep peace.
