Iran’s Real Problem

Iran’s problem is their blinding hatred of Israel. There is a story out today about how they launched a Shihab-3 IRBM which is capable of reaching Israel and consequently any place in-between that might have US troops. While this is an interesting missile and might cause some problems if there were to be a preemptive strike on Iran, the last line in the article is pretty telling:

“Experts believe that if Iran is attacked by Israel or the US, Teheran would respond by firing long-range ballistic missiles at Israel.”

Now why in the world would they fire missiles at Israel if they got attacked by the United States. What a total waste of resources during war-time. That’s a bit like the US firing missiles at Cuba if we were attacked by China. They are so obsessed with Israel that is distorts their judgment. If they could quit thinking about Israel for 5 minutes they might actually be a real threat, but instead they are just like Iraq who did the same thing in the first gulf war. Middle-Eastern countries just don’t understand how to wage proper war. That’s why Israel wins every time they are attacked.
