Israel & Arabs agree on Iran
I know that many Arabs don't want to see the US bomb Iran, but many obviously do. Mubarak, Jordan's King Abdullah, Saudi King Abdullah, and Israel's conservative government would like to see America bomb Iran.
It's a power struggle for leadership of the Middle East and Islamic world. The Arabs neither want the Turks or Persians to be in that position and there is fear that a too powerful Iran will allow/work for/support the Shia populations in some of the nations to take over/ establish separate states/gain control of the oil producing regions...
And of course, most Middle East nations are Bat Shit Crazy, so they also worry about their adversaries nuking them. )))
Ali, I believe used to guest blog over at Zeyad's. After the Islamic revolution in Iran, many actions were taken to make the country more conservative. The new government at the time cracked down on Cinemas, theatres, music halls. The Khomeini government also shut down liquor stores, bars, and social clubs, all of which used to run freely under the Shah. I see similar actions being taken today in Iraq. Previously, I have written about the Iranian influence in Iraq in politics. I have been reading news about several changes in the social aspects of the Iraqi community, ones that I link to a religious Iranian influence projected to change the structure of our society.
Today, a few Parliament Members who represent minorities showed their objection to a recent decision taken by local authorities to shut down social clubs, bars, and some restaurants that serve alcohol. Kenna, a Parliament Member who represent the Christians in Iraq said the decision punishes the Christian minority unjustly, “Just because a few people who are not supposed to drink go to those social clubs and drink alcohol, those social clubs shouldn’t be closed,” said Kenna criticizing the recent law. Another Member, Mehma Khalil who represents the Yezidi ethnicity in Iraq said the law will drive minorities out of Iraq, “Many minorities run such businesses […] these venues are sources of income to many of these people.”
And those Arabs that think that it is a hot idea won't be so chuffed when their house is reduced to rubble by the local fanatical Iranian-backed militia. Sure, Iran will lose in the end, but the consequences will be CATACLYSMIC.
Even the UAE alone has 79 F16s [many block 60, which is better than any F16s in the US Air Force], 68 Mirage 2000s. Egypt has 240 F16s + 20 Mirage 2000s + 60 Mirage 5.
KSA has 309 F15s + 87 Tornados.
Iran's air force and navy is a joke compared to their Arab counterparts . . . at least on paper.
So why again don't the Arabs bomb Iran on their own?
Well bruno, the fact that Iran might find some way to retaliate against the US/Israeli attackers, is just a special added bonus.
It's important to smash Iran because the Rafida think they are on the rise.
Let us finally establish a "one person, one vote" system in Iran -- by killing about 2 million Shia. Let freedom ring!
Then Vali Nasr can publish another opus: "Shia Revival, Volume 2: Shia Expiration."
Anand, this onanism about weapons that you always do, is pretty sick. I hope it is at least your job to read about weapons, and you're not doing it for personal fun.
"Don't these people realise that Iran will strike back and set the ME on fire with its proxies?"
The same kind of argument allowed Hitler to put much of Europe under his boot, with very little resistance. Let's not piss the little tyrant off. He might do some really bad things. Better to humor him. Then, he might do fewer bad things. Like Austria, Poland, and France. LOL.
I really don't get it. Iran's possession of nuclear weapons is for Self Defense! So where is the "threat" if everybody minds their own business and doesn't plan on bombing Iran!? so its alright for USA and Israel to have nuclear weapons, but when Iran has them for the same apparent reason that USA has them for, suddenly all hell breaks loose!? Doesn't add up.
C.H- "Iran" shouldn't be blamed for the wrongs of some evil people working on personal motives. And as if the U.S media tells you the truth of what goes on in Iran and other countries it hates. Hah, please!

Muhannad, Ali Rawaf has a good article on The Iranianization of Iraq.

There is a local fanatical Iranian-backed militia in KSA?

Iranophobia.

Self-defense against unarmed college students?
