You could make the inverse of this argument and say nuking the other middle eastern countries would also solve a lot of the world's problems.

Nope they have big daddy arming them so when the time comes big daddy has some power in the ME without having to invade more countries
. Don't think for one second the US arm israel out the goodness of their hearts. It's all about having a military presence in the M.EThey will tell israel what to do with that power when the time comes and it is coming shortly. Within 6 months hehehe, although it is long overdue for me by 2 years or so and i could be wrong AGAIN
And dont anyone forget it
Time for another one. Maybe lob a few towards Pakistan as well. Sort things out for another 70 years or so.

All you guys calling for Iran to be wiped out will be singing a different tune when China & Russia comes to their aid. Don't for one minute believe that they will allow Israel to walk over them just because they control world sentiment and the supposed right to label people anti-semite or terrorist if you don't drink from the Israeli Cool Aid. Remember what happened when George Bush stood under the MISSION ACOMPLISHED banner - All ****e broke loose and lots of american soldiers were killed.

Where, pray tell, is the motivation for Russia and China to put themselves at risk of nuclear war to help a minnow like Iran? They may talk big and use their UN vetos to help Iran, but if it comes to a shooting war they'll let Iran fight its own battles.

Minnow?
Do you know iran is one of the most oil rich countries in the world bud. They are far from minnows. Iran has something like 160 years worth of oil, more than the saudi's and second only to canada
. US are minnows, without their military they actually offer nothing.i WISH
I for one wish it all goes down and Iran retaliate with a nuclear strike on Israel and wipe them off the face of the Earth. Call it wishful thinking - but enough of their tyranny and hatred and acts of genocide, violence and terror on the innocent.
Something else that Israel should be contemplating - the rest of the Arab world isn't just going to take it lying down anymore - like they did with Afghanistan and Iraq and .... and.... and.... - I relish the day that the skies above Israel are filled with nuclear fallout!

Doubt that is true firstly Iran only has a 160 years of reserves because they produce far less than countries like Saudi Arabia if they were matching the production of Saudi Arabia there reserves would be far less, it's estimated Saudi Arabia has at least twice as much oil left as Iran.
Quoted From Article "Based on data from OPEC at the beginning of 2011 the highest proved oil reserves including non-conventional oil deposits are in Venezuela (20 per cent of global reserves), Saudi Arabia (18 %,of global reserves), Iran (9 %).[2]"

Also the USA has almost 25% of the worlds coal a substantial amount more than any other country.
Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal
They also produce coal, copper, lead, molybdenum, phosphates, uranium, bauxite, gold, iron, mercury, nickel, potash, silver, tungsten, zinc, petroleum, natural gas, timber

Also the United States influence on the worlds financial markets can't be denied.
Quoted From Article "Most of the economy is classified as services. The country remains the world's largest manufacturer, representing a fifth of the global manufacturing output. The United States is home to 139 of the world's 500 largest companies, which is almost twice that of any other country.[21] About 60% the global currency reserves has been invested in the United States dollar and only 24% in euro."
The United States also exports massive amounts of food and close to half of the worlds grain
Quoted From Article "Agriculture is a major industry in the United States and the country is a net exporter of food. With vast tracts of temperate arable land, technologically advanced agribusiness, and agricultural subsidies, the United States controls almost half of world grain exports.[108]
Products include wheat, corn, other grains, fruits, vegetables, cotton; beef, pork, poultry, dairy products; forest products; fish."
The United States is also the worlds largest manufacturer
Quoted From Article "The United States is the world's largest manufacturer, with a 2009 industrial output of US$2.33 trillion. Its manufacturing output is greater than of Germany, France, India, and Brazil combined, despite manufacturing being a small portion of the entire US economy as compared to other countries.[109]"

Its ridicolous to think the USA has nothing.

erm...
Maybe go back to school and learn some more... Let me spell it out...here we go...slowly for you...the...pre...emptive...strike...is...so...that...dummies...like you...don't...get...your...wish... Hahahahaha!
Now here is some more... Nuclear war, is the end of all of us, everywhere... Kiss your ignorant a** goodbye.
That's quite short sighted since it's all but confirmed Israel has nuclear weapons of their own developed with the South African apartheid regime.
Quoted From Article "David Albright and Chris McGreal have claimed that South African projects to develop nuclear weapons during the 1970s and 1980s were undertaken with some cooperation from Israel.[7][8][9] The United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 of 4 November 1977 introduced a mandatory arms embargo against South Africa, also requiring all states to refrain from "any co-operation with South Africa in the manufacture and development of nuclear weapons".[10]
According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, in 1977 Israel traded 30 grams of tritium for 50 tons of South African uranium and in the mid-1980s assisted with the development of the RSA-3 ballistic missile.[11] Also in 1977, according to foreign press reports, it was suspected that South Africa signed a pact with Israel that included the transfer of military technology and the manufacture of at least six nuclear bombs.[12]
In September 1979, a US Vela satellite detected a double flash over the Indian Ocean that was suspected, but never confirmed to be a nuclear test, despite extensive air sampling by WC-135 aircraft of the United States Air Force. If the Vela Incident was a nuclear test, South Africa is one of the countries, possibly in collaboration with Israel, that is suspected of carrying it out. No official confirmation of it being a nuclear test has been made by South Africa, and expert agencies[who?] have disagreed on their assessments. In 1997, South African Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad stated that South Africa had conducted a test, but later retracted his statement as being a report of rumours.[13] In February 1994, Commodore Dieter Gerhardt, the convicted Soviet spy and former commander of South Africa's Simon's Town naval base was reported to have said:
"Although I was not directly involved in planning or carrying out the operation, I learned unofficially that the flash was produced by an Israeli-South African test code-named Operation Phoenix. The explosion was clean and was not supposed to be detected. But they were not as smart as they thought, and the weather changed – so the Americans were able to pick it up."[14][15]
In 2000, Dieter Gerhardt claimed that Israel agreed in 1974 to arm eight Jericho II missiles with "special warheads" for South Africa.[16]
In 2010, The Guardian released South African government documents that it alleged confirmed the existence of Israel's nuclear arsenal. According to The Guardian, the documents were associated with an Israeli offer to sell South Africa nuclear weapons in 1975.[17][18] Israel categorically denied these allegations and said that the documents do not indicate any offer for a sale of nuclear weapons. Israeli President Shimon Peres said that The Guardian article was based on "selective interpretation... and not on concrete facts."[19] Avner Cohen, author of Israel and the Bomb and the forthcoming The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb, said "Nothing in the documents suggests there was an actual offer by Israel to sell nuclear weapons to the regime in Pretoria."[20]"
Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_...destruction#Alleged_collaboration_with_Israel
Quoted From Article "It is believed that Israel had possessed an operational nuclear weapons capability by 1967, with the mass production of nuclear warheads occurring immediately after the Six-Day War.[2] Although no official statistics exist, it has been estimated that Israel possesses from 75 to as many as 400 nuclear weapons, which are reported to include thermonuclear weapons in the megaton range.[3][4][5] Israel is also reported to possess a wide range of different systems, including neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons, and suitcase nukes.[6] Israel is believed to manufacture its nuclear weapons at the Negev Nuclear Research Center, a highly secretive nuclear installation located near Dimona.
Delivery mechanisms include Jericho intercontinental ballistic missiles, with a range of 11,500 km, and which are believed to provide a second-strike option. Israel's nuclear-capable ballistic missiles are believed to be buried so far underground that they would survive a nuclear attack.[7][8] Additionally, Israel is believed to have an offshore nuclear second-strike capability, using submarine launched nuclear-capable cruise missiles, which can be launched from the Israeli Navy's Dolphin-class submarines.[9] Although the Israeli Air Force lacks strategic bombers to deliver nuclear weapons over long range, its F-15I and F-16I Sufa fighter aircraft are capable of delivering nuclear weapons."

Israel has more than enough fire power and has done more than enough planning to absolutely destroy anyone who uses nuclear weapons against them, also it's highly unlikely ANYONE will come out in favor of a country which iitiates a nuclear strike on another country, if Iran did it, it would be them vs the world.

Apparently the only reason Israel didn't use them during the six day war was through US intervention, to wit the Americans said "Please take the nukes off your planes, you'll have whatever conventional weapons you need in the morning."
Frankly it's really only an American desire for middle east oil that's inhibiting the Israelis getting irritated.
Agreed but I do believe that if any middle eastern country {Iran} ever launched a nuclear strike against Israel, the United States would retaliate in kind against them, if only to show that acts of aggression of that nature will not be tolerated.

Frankly I don't think Mossad and the CIA would let it get that far.
