Until recently, Yehezkel Dror believed the State of Israel could live with a nuclear Iran. The veteran Israeli political scientist thought the right answer to the potential nuclearization of the Shiite republic was an ultimate deterrent. If the ayatollahs knew Israel's destruction in a nuclear attack would guarantee the same fate for their country, the Middle East would remain stable, he reasoned.

A double-barreled solution to Iran
Israel must bomb Iran and make peace with its neighbors – all at once, says Israeli political scientist Yehezkel Dror, in the second of a multi-part series.

it is well known that iran is sponsoring a lot of terrorist groups. if allowed to have that bomb then the implication is so simple.......every group can posses that desirable toys........so simple for a small group to subject a government or a country to blackmail, aside from the potential mushroom of backyard proliferation and potential horrendous implications.

despite the total lack of any hard evience whatsoever that Iran actually has such a program. It's almost as though the US and Israel want Iran to have a weapon just to provide them with an excuse to attack.

Fact or Fiction?

Using your strange sense of logic, I would like to ask/suggest, where is your hard proof that Israel herself possesses nuclear weapons? Or is just fiction you made up?

Professor Dror seems to have lost his mind, or the ability to distinguish truth from propaganda. What is the evicence that Iran seeks a nuclear weapon, other then his imagination. The answer is, no evidence exists.

07 0 0Interview with Dror on attach on Iran
- By Jerome
- 02 Jul 2012
- 08:16PM
The logic has some gaps. First, how does a regional peace initiative, which may succeed or fail, even if it succeeds, prevent Iran from becoming a vengeful nuclear power? Second, Dror says, "If I knew" that Iran would become a vengeful nuclear power he would not recommend a strike. But what happened to probabilities? Why does he have to know this? Why is it not a sufficient counter argument that there is a high probability of this outcome? And what happened to the pseudo image of careful calculation? Exactly how low does this outcome have to be for Dror's analysis to stand? Of course no one can say, so let's drop the pretense that there stands some exact rational calculus behind such opinions. Right now Iran seems to be seeking nuclear capability not possession of armed missiles. Is the probability that it will have nuclear weapons five years from now greater or less, if Israel launches an attack? Does anyone really know?

Your glib analysis that Israel's nuclear weapons is the reason for Iran's quest is so patently false that only an anti-Semite would think it reasonable. Yes, blame The Jews. Is it Israeli nukes that are now causing Saudi Arabia, and perhaps the Emirates to consider going nuclear too?

no less than criticism of Iran and its neuclear program can be considered Islamo-phobia. Stop your racially motivated propoganda it only exposes your lack of any other defence.

Has the author every thought about the reason Iran is getting nukes is because Israel has them? So really if you rid middle east of Israel's nukes then there will be no nuclear weapons in middle east and Iran will have no reason to acquire them. The reason there nuclear proliferation in middle east is Israel not Iran
