Israeli Diplomat: ‘We Won’t Let Iran Get Nuke’

Dan Gillerman, Israel’s former permanent representative to the U.N., had strong words of warning for Iran. “Israel has made a decision . . . Israel will not allow that rogue regime, that fundamentalist, extreme, terrorist-supporting regime, to acquire nuclear weapons,” he said. Gillerman added, “I would rather see Israel, a living Israel condemned, than a dying Israel receive the sympathy and condolences of the international community.”

“I would rather see Israel, a living Israel condemned, than a dying Israel receive the sympathy and condolences of the international community.”

Well said! I feel the same way. It's kind of similar to the ole saw: "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."

:-D

The problem with Iran having a nuke is not that it will attack the USA or Israel (that has several hundred nukes). Also the probability of an Iran nuke getting to terrorists is infinitely smaller than the probability of one of the thousands of nuclear warheads left in former Soviet republics being sold to terrorists. The apparent problem is that the USA and Israel would not be able to attack a nuclear Iran whenever they feel like it.
