Fact or Fiction? I especially like the commentary at the end of the article discussing whether this was a fabricated story or not.

So do you guys think it is true?

Sensationalist hype.

Israel has over a hundred nuclear missiles in its arsenal. As they say, a single bomb just makes you a target. You need a couple of hundred to ensure your security as a nation.

Iran would really only try something like this if they were backed completely against a wall. Since that's never going to happen I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Israel using dirty bombs against Iran? Might happen. Oh wait, you meant the other way around.

Don't forget Iran isn't ruled by a random dictator like Saddam Hussein but by crazies like Khamenei. They should never get real nuclear weapons.

Ignorance? Iran has not waged an offensive war in over a century, and I don't see them starting now. What people seem to be forgetting is that Ahmadinejad is not the supreme leader of Iran. The supreme ayatollah is, and he has no interest in war with Israel.

Israel is the country with all of the Mormons, right?

Hmmm? Far as I know there's not a single Mormon in Israel.

Bullshit, the war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Lebanon_War) two summers ago was a proxy battle by Iran against Israel.

As long as the West retains a comparative indomitable superiority over other sectors, I think we can avoid large-scale conflicts including an overt aggressive action by one nation towards another.

Btw, I love American logic.
USA: "We can have nukes because we're rational and want peace. You? Well you would certainly proliferate the technology to volatile countries and decimate the planet. So uh, yeah, we're just gonna hoard giant nuclear arsenals pointing at the four corners of the earth and disallow other nations from having nuclear weapons..."
Iran: "....."

Reminds me of elementary-style bullying. But hey, the massive US military presence in the world is certainly a powerful and undeniable deterrent from sporadic regional conflicts.

I was really hoping Israel may have put itself something on the right path by getting Livni as Prime Minister but now it looks like Netanyahu may get to be the next leader, which I don't like.
