[Marxism] Marxism] Israeli Air Force Prepares for Attack on Iran

[Andrew Pollack <acpollack2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to hear more about the quote from the JPost article:  "Pedatzur added 
that the day Iran gets a nuclear weapon, Israel will have no choice but to 
abandon its policy of nuclear ambiguity."     Why? As an open rather than 
implied deterrent?  Anyway that certainly raises the question of the right of 
Iran to have an equivalent right to deterrence. Going the next step, why 
shouldn't Iran have the right to bomb Israel's nuclear facilities to protect 
itself against an eventual Israeli nuclear attack? Or the right to bomb 
France's facilities, because France last week said explicitly it would use 
nukes against perceived "terrorist" threats. Not actual attacks, but perceived 
threats. So France has now made itself far more of a threat to Iran than Iran 
has yet made itself to France -- or to Israel, in terms of stated intentions to 
use nuclear weapons.  And if the NSA is listening in: this is all posed in the 
realm of moral logic, not advocacy. We're all for no use of nukes by anybody
 and for universal nuclear disarmament.
