JVD: "Will the world tolerate a nuclear Iran?"

All but one country, I`d say.

JVD: "The world cannot tolerate a nuclear weapon in the hands of people who say openly, explicitly and publicly that they want to wipe Israel off the map."

Since Ahmadinejad never uttered those words it appears that this is paranoia, Jean.

JVD: "Israel does not agree with the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate"

The NIE thinks it is right.
The Israelis claim the NIE is wrong.

Why, exactly, does Israel have more credibility?

JVD: "and feels instead that Iran?s ?military program continues and has never been stopped"

You are going to attack on a FEELING?

Is that like a GUT INSTINCT, perhaps?

George W had one of those in 2003, and it turned out the pre-war lack of evidence was caused by
(a) lack of WMDs, and not by
(b) lack of endevour from his spooks.

JVD: "If this program continues,"

IF, Jean, IF.

The NIE says your IF is very IFFY indeed.
