I see it like this. Before Iran becomes a threat to this country, it will be a threat to Israel. I think we can let Israel deal with it if it gets much worse, as it would clearly be in their best interests to do so.


[/ QUOTE ] this is an absolutley terrible idea. The only sure fire way to get the rest of the middle east to sympathise with iran is to "let israel deal with them" good lord man, this is ridiculous. you should try to get a job in Bush's cabinet. as it is now, much of the midle east is skepticle of iran because of the theocratic nature of their government. encouraging a situation where israel "deals with " a muslim country would set the already f'd region back decades. In response to the OP, yes clearly our international credibility is at an all time low, or atleast close to it, and this administration in particular would have a hell of a time russeling up legitimate supporty for much of anything. The scary thing about iran is this ahmenijad charecter is the only iranian leader not named ayyatollah.
