Israel Will Not Simply Defend But Will Protect Herself

Israel has said she will not notify the U. S. if she decides to strike Iran or at least, Iran's nuclear
facilities. Who can blame her? It is not really our business. We don't live in the Mid-East.
Iran has a dictator, a reactionary court system always jockeying for power, and ayatollahs.
Does that sound like a good mix for a democratic country in a hostile geography to have to deal
with over something as fatal as nuclear power?
Iran is completely senseless to be agitating in that region over anything akin to nuclear power.
Israel is not going to allow them to be more of a threat than they already are.
Why would Iran even want the area more unstable than it is now?
Does Iran see an opening for further radicalizing Arab Spring participants?
Sounds a very bad idea to me, because their own citizenry would get the bulk of the horror. Silly
me ... since when does Iran lose sleep over that?
At the same time, Israel should follow the effects of the sanctions with a great precision, because
Iran, like North Korea, is a potential threat to most countries. Israel has no need to put its citizens
through any anxiety just so that it can function as an attack dog for European and American interests.
If Iran is going to do too much posturing for its own good, well then at the risk of sounding hawkish, I guess we had better get ready for them.
