Quote:People really believe Israel will nuke the region? Really?I don't know what people believe, but Israel won't "nuke the region' as that would be a wasteful expenditure of their nuclear munitions. They'll target selective sites for maximum impact. They have, best estimates, between two and four hundred nukes. That isn't enough to "nuke the region" but is enough to make a hell of a mess, both in terms of body count and in environmental poisoning/wind born fallout.
I have no doubt they would invade and unleash all the other weaponry they have, but nukes, really?
Edit: My latest news, not a great source, is from MSNBC: Militias are clamping down in Iran. Score one point for the militarists.
