I don't think it's Israel that is stirring up the shit. If no one were to screw with Israel, they wouldn't be messing with anyone else. As it is, what is Israel to do when these dickheads insist on firing rockets into their population centers indiscriminately? Just bend over and take it?

Nah, they have to slam these clowns, and slam them hard each and every time.

The Iranians would have to be nuts (but who say's they aren't?) to nuke Israel, however. The Israelies have about 100 nukes in their inventory, and if they get nuked first, they'll go after Tehran and every other major city in Iran, and won't give a shit about the holy significance of their targets.

That is indeed a worry, but it is not one that the Israelies have control over. It is entirely in the hands of the nut jobs in Iran.

Not very encouraging, is it?

To the everlasting glory of the infantry...
