Wiping out Israel?

Israel's ambassador to the US, warned on Friday that an Iranian atomic bomb could "wipe Israel off the map in a matter of seconds."

Geographically, we are very far removed from the middle east conflicts... It's not just the Israeli's that are afraid...it's the Sunni Muslims too. It's too easy to just write off the constant messages out of Israel as "paranoid" or "posturing." It's way more than that...it's a matter of survival.

If someone had a gun pointed at our head, constantly...we might understand how they feel. In this instance, the gun isn't quite constructed yet. It's being built, one piece at a time. Agonizingly, the Israelis are watching its construction and wondering why we can't all come up with a solution to prevent it's completion. Because, once it's complete, it's too late. The trigger can be pulled in seconds.

Then, they would be forced to do something for their own survival.
