THE MIDDLE EAST.
Israel may want to attack Iran's nuclear capacity, but that would be against the international interest.
The United States is Israel's main security backer and ally.
The Europeans do the most business with Israel.
I do not know what Ariel Sharon would say, but if the United States cut off all aid to Israel if it would then attack Iran.
We threatened to do this them in Iraq 1 and it worked.
Israel would cease to exist as a viable entity as a result.
AIPAC and the Jewish Lobby in the United States would have to be told to go to helll in the short run.
However, their influence on policy is way out of proportion to the number of voters they repesent.
THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
The Bible say's there will be wars and rumors of wars throughout history.
If you attack Iran then you have started a wider war and Iran will strike back if you corner them.
If a high level military delegation goes into Iran to talk to their government.
Then that delegation has more power than does a diplomatic delegation.
In essence, if a general or admiral comes calling then the Iranians might think we are serious about engaging them on a multilateral basis.
