Well, if Lieberman is correct then there is no reason for a military attack, is there? All we have to do is wait since the sanctions are having such a devastating effect the people of Iran---a revolution is to be expected.

  Iran's military will do exactly what Assad's henchmen are doing, Genocide against it's own people with 30,000 already dead and many more thousands incarcerated. These are the people living on Israel's doorstep, same in Lebanon and Egypt. Perhaps you might try focusing on this.
