Interesting article. 

Article asserts Israel can cripple Iran with conventional weapons.

interesting article. There is a lot truth to it but also there are typical left wing idiocies there as well. Bottom line - bomb Iran and create a "Palestinian" state. How crazy is that?

Desired outcome, according to the article:
Two-thirds of the Lebanese would be happy. The Palestinians would go about building their state, and Israel would buy itself another 40 years as the only nuclear-armed country in the Middle East. Iran would not be happy.   :o

Left wing Jews are crazy fools who cover their stupidity behind the veneer of eloquence.

If Israel bombed Iran, many Christian Lebanese would be happy. This would weaken Hizbollah.
Suadi Arabia gave it's okay to Israel to overfly the territory of Saudi Arabia in order to bomb Iran. But this is a very egoistic okay by the Saudis since they fear the influence as the most important country of the Islamic world.

If Israel will bomb Iran's nuclear installations, it is very likely that Iran will respond by bombing Israeli civilians with rockets from Lebanon as well as Ballistic missiles, and rocket attacks from Gaza are also a possibility. But since Israel would be named the aggressor by the international community the Israeli response to such attack will likely be very mild, at least for the first few days.
