Iran is posturing with the Ayatolla saying that Israel, a cancer, must be eliminated. They are obviously developing a nuclear weapon--if you don't believe that, you are naive. Leon Panetta opened his mouth to say that he believes Israel is going to launch an attack on Iran anytime from April to June of this year. This is not unlike Obama telling our enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan what our war strategies are going to be in order to help them prepare for it. But perhaps Panetta had a reason or a strategy for spilling the beans--he may have wanted to provide Obama with a way to avoid going to war with Iran--it's Obama's style to walk the other way when there's a problem.. Except this is not very honorable when the problem has to do with your friend getting mugged.
Part of me wants to punch Panetta in the nose for tipping Israel's hand, and with a nose like Panetta's, it might just kill him. But I believe that he is probably correct in saying that Israel is going to do something soon. Israel is the only country in the world where its enemies don't simply want to defeat it in war, perhaps to take back some land like the "Palestinians" say they wish to do; they want to destroy Israel and kill every Jew in it. This is not typical of what most wars are fought for, but this is a significant part of the Islamic religious mandate, the anti-Semitism in the Koran. Ask most Muslims what they think of Jews and hear what they have to say.
Israel is also claiming that Iran has developed a nuclear delivery system that can reach the United States--so this is not just Israel's problem anymore, if you believe what was said by Israel. Again, to disregard the possible threat of Iran's nuclear capability or impending capability can be suicidal. Iran is not afraid to strike with nuclear weapons--they are not afraid to die, but welcome it. That's called Jihad, my friends, and that guarantees Paradise in their way of thinking. To not take the Ayatolla at his word, and to not believe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is foolish, and also suicidal.
If you are interested in terrorism and suspense, I have provided 2 links (below) for a hard copy (soft cover) edition and an eBook edition of my latest novel, Jihad Joe. It's a story about Zed Nill, a New York based reporter, taken hostage by Islamic terrorists. He must escape, or be beheaded the following day . . . the clock is ticking.
