Essay: This Holocaust will be different | Jerusalem Post

Essay attached from the Jerusalem Post, illustrating how chilling the future could be for Israel (and thereafter, everyone else) if Iran gets the bomb and there isn't a fundamental change in its politics (Essay: This Holocaust will be different | Jerusalem Post). You don't have to agree with all of it to be extremely concerned. While the Democrats express outrage at President Bush and warn him against unilateral action on Iran, they should consider the alternatives -- most likely an Israeli pre-emptive attack which will explode the Arab world in anger and wounded pride and could be the final tipping point leading to extremist revolution against several of our "moderate" Arab friends (Egypt? Saudi Arabia? Jordan?). Alternatively, if Israel's feckless current leadership cannot bring itself to act within the next 6-12 months, a worse result will most likely occur down the road.
