Well, as long as they don't try to hit the one on the left, we're alright.

Seriously though, attack on nuclear power plants? I don't know about Europe, but certainly Sizewell has got a fair bit of security, particularly on the inside of the stations, ok...the outside station security is a complete joke, as Greenpeace protestors demonstrated, but to get inside you have to go through several security and radiation checkpoints. The dome itself is armoured against a nearby nuclear strike, let alone a plane being dropped in it. So what are they going to use? There are so many backups and failsafes in Sizewell that it would be very hard to set it to meltdown. Now, the last time I checked Iran didn't have a Carrier sitting in the North Sea, so they can't launch a bunker-buster air strike, and their Kilos probably wouldn't be allowed to leave the Gulf, particularly considering they'd have to refuel.

So, there'd be a lot of panic and the environmental and safety groups ('Shut down Sizewell') would have a fit if someone tried to bomb the dome, but I do doubt very much that there would be a major release of radiation, the Dome has been dropping the odd leak for years and I've not started glowing yet. ;)

Oh, don't worry, I'm not totally dismissing the Iranian threat, I'm just curious as how they expect to carry that threat out.

In all seriousness, the smilies were my cynical response to folks like you that think they're immune to large scale Shi'ite Iran's martyrdom fantasies against infidel Europe.

The world has not caught on yet, I see. :nope:

Read.

Read some more.

But, hey, keep on smiling! :D

Do you believe the Israeli Government will act ie: prevent the Iranians from creating an atomic bomb through military means without prior permission from the US ? :hmm:

Out of desparation and with no help from the outside, Israel might do it. Unfortunately we have the wimpiest government in Israel's history sitting in the hot seat at present. In addition, the west both has its head in the sand plus thinks that appeasement by feeding Israel to Ahmadinajar :D will spare them. :nope:

Not so sure I agree with you there :nope:
Israel has a proud history of defending itself when the chips are down and everyone else thinks the odds stacked against her are unsurmountable :yep:

Judaism teaches a very important Axiom: "Ein somchin al ha'ness" - "One should not rely upon miracles".

Those of us who are religious acknowledge the numerous miracles we've seen over the last 60 years - even daily ones in the last decade or 2.

Iran has done its best to bomb-proof and scatter these facilities. In addition, they have a hugh arsenal of long range missiles that easily reach Europe, let alone Israel.

It would be lovely to have a massive earthquake and watch Iran slide down a sink hole or see a regime change where sane Iranians rule again but I wouldn't count on it.

I guess I'll have to pray a little harder.
