If it becomes necessary to launch a military strike against Iran, there are good reasons it should be launched by the United States.
With North Korea defying the world by testing another nuclear weapon over the weekend as well as conducting several missile tests, and the Taliban threatening to take over Pakistan, including their nuclear arsenal, the world is once again brought back to the subject of nuclear proliferation.
The recent meetings between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu focused on two points. President Obama wanted to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a two state solution and getting the talks back on track. Prime Minister
Netanyahu wanted to focus on Iran. The real world means
Netanyahu wins. There are no talks to be had with the Palestinians because there is no one to talk to. The Palestinians are split between a corrupt, marginally effective leadership on one hand, and a terrorist organization on the other that has killed, or caused to be killed, more Palestinians than Israelis. The subject of Iran is the subject of the survival of Israel. A nuclear strike of three or four weapons, even relatively small ones, would destroy the Jewish nation.
Israel has the capability of striking Iran(but)...The United States would also be able to preempt the Iranians from moving on the Strait of Hormuz by taking out their air and naval forces at the same time. While we were at it we could go after the
Quds Force staging areas in western Iran to provide force
protection to our units in Iraq.

We SAY: There are many strategic reasons to argue against the United States striking Iran or allowing Israel do it.
Practically and logically Iran(and N. Korea) must be taken out to maintain non-
proliferation and some semblance of world peace.
