#1 Most of Iran?s nuclear marketing campaign, especially within the Arab world, is linked to the Palestinian cause and its relationship with Israel. Therefore, the idea that for the Arab World to get rid of Israel it has to accept getting rid of massive populations of Palestinians as well, would be hard to sell to the Muslim world. Plus, the potential negative effects of a nuclear attack on Israel?s soil on other Arab countries, with the panic that it will immediately create in their populations, as well as the risk of making Jerusalem (Al-Aqsa mosque) radioactive, make it even harder for Iran to strike Israel first. It could cause Iran?s leaders to loose their political power and acceptance in the region.

Nope.... just Mo' Martyrs.

#2 The Arabs and Persians use the Paleos but couldn't give a rat's ass if they were eradicated if that was done in a useful (i..e: joooo-killin') manner

#4 MadMoud can't proclaim a unilateral aymmetric "People's War" or "War of Resistance" in national self-defense, andor defense of Islam, against Amer attack = invasion = imperialism iff no attack or invasion takes place. The US Dems won't like it becuz it means Commie Hillary may have to PC remain a Senator for a while yet, plus any potens Dem successor to Dubya will have to resolve the various Iran, North Korean , Syria, and Taiwan crises, i.e. no post-Dubya/GOP "easy street". NO US INVASION > NO US ATTACK ON SHIA ISLAM HOLY PLACES = ditto agz 12th IMMAM = ditto agz MAHDI = ergo NO PERSONAL OR PAN-ISLAMIC APOCALYPSE FOR MADMOUD, thus Radical Islam won't like it becuz it will become harder for them to acquire naive, youthful recruits to easily replace the heavy losses presently being suffered at the hands of America-Allies. NO IRAN ATTACK-INVASION > also makes it harder to justify any new 9-11's against America, to include PC terror strikes = decapitation strikes against Dubya & Admin. & GOP & anti-Socialist/OWG GOP Congress. CHINA > TAIWAN has more time to buildup its defenses since the USN-USAF, etal will be around instead of over in Iran-ME!? NORTH KOREA won't like it becuz it means the armed forces and econ might JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, and AMERICA, etal. will still be there in opposition to North Korea wid likely no concessions from the US-West, and with no likely [initial?] mil help from China in case war starts becuz China wants to see what America will do agz Iran. THE REASONS ARE MANY, THE DANGER IS REAL AND STILL OUT THERE. Iran knows its being surrounded,and it also knows Dubya or any Bush-esque GOP successor will likely impose newer, stronger types of international sanctions that can de facto hurt Iran economically.
