I would only add:

"P.S.--can you ask G-D what we should do next? I know he lives there, somewhere in Yerushalaim, and he's probably close by, which is why it's OK for you to do whatever you like. It's a good thing, too, because if G-D did NOT live in Israel--boy, would you have some explaining to do to the rest of the world! Can you imagine if other countries got away with the things you get away with?! What chaos would that be?

After all, man cannot understand repression, apartheid, illegal attacks on defenseless populations, seizure of private property, displacement of citizens and government reappropriation of land, war crimes, and concentration camps, but, oh Bibi--you and I both know, that with G-D, all things are possible?

Shalom and uncritical support of all things Israel,

Typical American"

[WarSkeptic]

What you are advocating is illegal under international law

[GarryLad]

Dear America;

Thanks Boss....

Just before I head off, you got some dimes?

Love

Bibi.

Murder and violence never solves anything. I know a goodly portion of morons thing this is the thing to do. Remember Mossadeq and the Iran contra. We're really stacked with morals, eh? And you'd like to let the Israeli pit bull loose?

At this time, the U.S. is not being threatened by Iran. Iran, however, does have hegemonistic plans for its role in the Middle East, and a visceral hatred for Israel and the Jewish people. Other Arab states, especially the Sunni ones, are greatly fearful of what they would face in a nuclear weaponed Shia Iran. If Iran were to rise to the level where they could control the world's energy sources, backed by oil-hungry China, maybe even India, and a confrontational Russia, the U.S. would then find itself in dire straits.

This is totally apart from Israel's concerns over its extermination. One nuclear bomb over Tel Aviv will destroy the entire country. To achieve this, Iran is willing to absorb tens of millions of its own "martyrs" in an American counter-attack. And where that would lead, no one knows. It would not even take an actual attack by Iran. Like Mafia "protection" tactics, simply having the potential to attack would give Iran the power it seeks. It would also lead to an exodus of rational people from Israel, bringing about an equally effective end to that country.

Israel will not allow that to happen. It is in America's interest not to allow the threat to rise to the level of the intolerable. An ounce of prevention......

Nonsense.

False premises lead to wrong conclusions.

The only thing the Iranis really want, is to live in peace and develop their country. I know a whole lot of Iranian ex-pats, who are highly critical of Ahmadinejad - but are stil lworking as hard as they can, only to make their country a better place.

Hegemony my butt - the only country trying to gain the ultimate hegemony and superiority in the Middle East, is Israel.

It's not Iran, that must be stopped on their way to military and economical supremacy - it's Israel, which must be stopped in the rails to masterhood. Israel is using Iran as a boogeyman and scapegoat, to achieve her ultimate goals of Eretz Israel.

nd we should not let them get away with it.

ON hegemony--don't forget the U.S. Take a look at a map of the middle east. Draw a straight line eastward from Israel to the Persian Gulf. It's no secret the Oil companies want to build pipelines to suck even more oil out of the region. Israel is the front door, next you hit Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Southern Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hmmm.. Could the US incursions into the region be following a pattern? If you take out Afghanistan, then you take out Iraq, I wonder what you would do next?

Strangely enough, the only way to stop the seemingly inevitable might be to "go green". If oil no longer matters, then neither does Iran, and economically at least, neither does Israel. (Not that I'm cynical enough to believe that most of what passes for "religion" actually has economic underpinnings)

[Spirasol]

You don't speak for me, and likely the American people. Perhaps you speak for the politicians under the sway of Israeli lobbyists. But please, you should be sent for war crimes investigations. Perpetuating injustice and war crimes does little for the Israeli position. Stop being a victim and start negotiating.

[mommadona]

Thank you.

What a despicable "too cute by half" thing to post.

[WBMD]

And what would we negotiate?

[Henry]

The starting point is the conveyance of what was Palestine to the state of Israel. The Palestinians feel they have been done wrong. Israel presents the deed to the land and the issue is closed. The Muslims somehow or other feel the right and entitlement belongs to them. There is no wasp interest in this dispute for land, even though for some strange reason we are in for mega bucks and blood to fight for the highly disputed right of the Israel state. Who knows, maybe the Muslims are right about this. They think they are right. You can prove the right of Israel?

[unitron]

Not this American people!

[pinkibus]

America needs to get some sense and just say no.

[FearlessFreep]

Bibi needs to get some sense.
