Try it some time so you don't look so silly.
I don't speak French. Thanks for the heads up though. That's funny, you telling me not to look silly.

Iran doesn't have that capability yet. I'm not sure they even have a deliverable warhead. We're looking 10-15 years down the road.

I'm not so sure that any President could get away with vaporizing 60 million or so Iranians just to avenge an attack on Israel.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I'm not sure we would, but I don't think Israel would think twice about it...that's MAD at work
