Title:Lessons #1 from Israel`s latest wars

City: State:
After Israel`s war with Lebanon, the United States and the rest of the world poured money into LEBANON to rebuild.

What does that lesson tell Israel?

The world will not support Israel, even in the face of direct terrorist attacks on Israeli soil. An attack on Iran will receive even LESS support.

An Israeli attack on Iran could actually be the turning point for the softening of relations between Iran and the rest of the world. I would not be surprised to see many doors thrown open for Iran across the world as nations fall over themselves trying to distance themselves from an Israeli attack.

An Israeli attack on Iran could end up being the best thing that could ever happen to Iran, on a global political scale.

Learn from how the world gushed to be seen helping Lebanon (whether that aid ever arrived in Lebanon or not...) It will happen again if Israel launches an offensive attack on Iran.
