Is War With Iran Necessary?

To be honest, unless Iran stops pissing around and making remarks like "we will set Israel on fire" or "wipe israel off the map" I think we are heading for war anyway, Israel already feels severely threatened by its Arab neighbours, and Iran test firing long range ballistic missiles along with a strengthening nuclear program will surely be ringing some very loud alarm bells in Israel! There will come a time when Israel will have to use force to protect itself. People critisized them for blowing up the nuclear facility in Iraq, but afterwards its been learnt that senior scientists working there have admitted they were working on a nuclear device... At least Israel, unlike the West, is actually takleing this problem instead of allowing it to grow whilst we sit on our arses pondering what to do about it.

Love the or loate them, you simply don't threaten Israel like the way Iran has been doing of late... its asking for trouble. If Germany were to say that they wanted to see the French wiped off the map of Europe there would be absolute uproar, however have some towel wearing extremist say it and we brush him off thinking nothing of it.

Only fools underestimate their enemies, and thats precisely what the West (apart from America) are doing.

Remember that in decisions of war, Ahmedinijad has feck-all power.
Regarding the first statement, I think it's not surprising given that the sole remaining superpower devotes a huge chunk of political energy to the possibility of attacking Iran. It's not like such a threat falls right out of the sky.
