Israel: Murdering scientists?

When they do we may actually tone down our rhetoric against them, and that will give a chance for the pro western youth to elect a more liberal candidate, unfortunately all this threatening and axis of evil crap pushed them into the hands of more extreme elements...

I think LittleGrizzly has hit the nail on the head. Iran's citizens feel threatened (and rightly so) by the western threats against Iran. Luckily, there are elections again in 2009, and Ahmadinejad hasn't really made himself popular amongst the people. I personally hope that Khatami will become president again.

Obviously it all comes doen to the right of the stronger, one could say national darwinism, as long as Israel cannot be stopped, they do it, and some people think that is fine.
Personally i hope those people will end up being substantially weaker in something sometime soon and I can hope that because they cannot beat me up over the internet, nananana!

It's morally wrong to target scientists in my opinion, but as it's obvious Israel doesn't seek an all out war (it doesn't want to, and hasn't yet targeted military targets in Iran) it's their only shot at stalling the program other than diplomatic rhetoric.

And for what it's worth, I don't think America would throw nukes at Iran would the latter nuke Israel. Perhaps under the previous Administration, but under any other, including the present one, it would simply not do it.
