Buried in the Wall Street Journal article:  “The Iranian military exercise follows on the heels of a large-scale air-defense exercise by Israel, conducted with U.S. troops, last month.”
  Tit for tat. Threat and counter-threat. Using the same old tired gambit, who can reasonably expect true negotiation or conciliation or de-escalation?
  This is Foreign Policy for Dummies.

don’t forget that israel has not allowed nuclear inspection teams to even inspect their sites.  and israel’s gotten permission to do that, or not do that, from every president that’s been elected. 

you can thank AIPAC for all our current problems.

Paolo is spot on of course….

I say, “You Go Iran!”...  They have the right to defend themselves against Zionist/American aggression…..  It sickens me that the MSM NEVER mentions that Israel is a nuclear power….  The answer to this problem is simple:DEMAND that Israel give up its nukes!!!  Then and ONLY then can we demand anything of Iran….  God help us if we allow the Zionists to get us into yet another war…. As the greatest comedian in the world, Bill Hicks said, “A war is when TWO armies are fighting….”  Right now we are fighting 2 countries that are defending themselves with what amounts to spitballs…. Iran, my friends, will be another story….  Israel, and NOT Islamic Freedom Fighters, is the only threat to world peace….

No one has ever—repeat, EVER—produced a shred of evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Iran has long allowed intrusive inspections of its nuclear facilities by the IAEA. Those inspections have produced no indication of any diversion of nuclear materials whatsoever.

Iran’s leadership has consistently condemned the use of nuclear weapons as being inconsistent with Islam.

I ask: what else can Iran do to satisfy the American Empire, even as it rampages all around her in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan? Answer: nothing. They creeps in Washington—both Democrats and Republicans—want more war, and nothing is going to stop them.

Ron Paul’s policy of non-interventionism makes perfect sense, which is why it won’t be implemented in today’s tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum Washington.

The arrogance of the Wests’ deciding which nations shall or shall not enrich uranium, for whatever purpose should be further discussed.

If the USA wants to truly halt nuclear proliferation one good way would be to destroy its own catalog of such weaponry.
