Here's an interesting read my father linked to me earlier today:
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1064852.html
I'm writing my paper on the Iranian nuclear program, and with this coming into light, I wondered what your opinions were, fellow backroomers.
so?
we did it with iraq too.
i see nothing wrong with this. israel is scared, since one nuke can literally wipe out about 1/4 of the country.
and with that looney as prez of iran, i wouldnt blame israel for being scared.
that is fineQuote:
As such, the reported goal of Israel's covert campaign is to delay or interrupt the Iranian research program, without engaging in a direct confrontation that could lead to a wider war.
that is notQuote:
Israel is assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists
You are seriously defending out-and-out murder of members of the scientific community?Quote:

How is it terrorism? They're not going in with the objective to cause terror to anyone - they're going in with the objective to target individuals. Trust me, if they were terrorizing people, people would, you know, be terrorized. This is accepting that article as fact, of course.Quote:

Just don't expect me to condemn the latest terrorist attack in whatever country suffers it...
Let's see.
The President of Iran, backed by some pragmatical bast---ds known as the Mullahs, swears on a stack of Korans, may the blessing be upon the prophet, that he would wipe Isreal off the map. No matter that he also has publically stated that the holocaust never happened, he also just happens to preside over the very scientists he claims are just working on Nuclear power for peacful means. It may be true, but then pigs do fly in the land of OZ too.
Can anyone blame Isreal, a country that has been fighting for its existence almost from the day of its founding from a horde of various Muslim countries, for being equally pragmatical bast---ds? Believe me that they will certainly be more so if and when the Iranians have the actual weapons. If that does happen, they will strike with more than a few operatives taking the lives of a scientist or two.
But they condemn the actions of terrorists murdering innocent Israeli's in attempt to stop the Israeli state from progressing - I fail to see the difference
gut says no not good at all
I'm suprised by that Fragony.Quote:

This has been mistranslated, Ahmadinejad has said it himself. Also, I fail to see why Iran cannot develop its own nuclear program for peaceful reasons while other countries do have that right.Quote:

Israel is based on Jews first (the chosen people, after all) and everything else second. No other life is worth anything if it helps protect a Jew.
SO, they assassinate Scientists. Is that really so surprising or such a big deal? Thousands are locked in an open prison to punish the fanatical terrorists that live amongst them. At least picking off some top egg heads might actually work.

You know? How? Or do you not care about the killing of scientists who are suspected of making nuclear weopns, and I don't trust America with their nuclear weopons.Quote:
