(Jerusalem Report) Hirsh Goodman - No doubt the world would be a better place without a nuclear-capable Iran, and everything possible must be done to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, but reality has to be faced. Given Israel's own assets, in the event of a nuclear strike, Iran's destruction is assured. Iran has no anti-missile defenses and it will be reduced to rubble. There are several other things the Iranians have to take into account. Accuracy is never absolute and a millimeter's error at time of launching in Iran could mean that the Temple Mount is nuked, not Tel Aviv. And in any attack, as many Arabs would be killed as Jews, the entire region's water would be poisoned, gone would be the dream of any independent Palestinian state surviving on the scorched earth of Palestine. In an inversion of logic, Islam and the Palestinians have become part of Israel's shield. Jerusalem is probably the safest place on earth from an Iranian nuclear attack. 2005-11-04 00:00:00Full Article
