they said the same when India wanted to strike Pak in 1998. Pak already had nuclear weapon that time. But we knew if India uses it first, Pak would not be in a state to reply back. So the international community cornered India, and also forced it to sign no first use nuclear policy. Result: Pak is bleeding India, continuously thru cross-border terrorism, infiltration, supporting kashmir insurgency..etc And India can in no way reply back. Israel should take a lesson out of this, and must not get cornered by international pressure. Just get done with iran, no matter what economic calamity falls on you. Either the enemy will make you bleed, or finish them and be ready to tolerate economic slowdown. Unfortunately leftists only care for economy and money, at the stake of nationalism and integrity.
