Israel has a right to defend herself... so if they really feel the need to do something, then they are free to do so.
Personally, I think it would be a strategic error to attack Iran...
however, none of this really has anything to do with the UK, and we are overstreched in Iraq and AFghanistan as it is.
If there is a pre-emptive war against Iran, I hope the UK is not involved... will just mess up politics at home, be costly and disruptive, and reduce our standing in the world.
We face a terror threat, a threat that can only be defeated with wide-spread international consensus and co-operation. The Iraq war damanged that international co-operation, and an attack on Iran would only furhter damage that co-operation.
We need to be making partners and allies in the war on terror, not futher isolating ourselves...
