US Diplomacy Failure Risks Middle East War

RM Gerecht, Foundation for Defense of Democracies | May 18, 2009

If the US and Europe cannot peacefully convince Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons, Israel may consider using force - a move that could trigger a war worse than that in Iraq and make or break both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership and that of Barak Obama's. ++ For the Israelis, Iran has become an unrivalled threat. ++ "Never before have the Israelis had to confront a rabidly anti-Semitic enemy with nuclear weapons and a long track record of supporting deadly killers such as Hezbollah and Hamas."
