A valid point..... If S Ireland were threatening us with armageddon and we were not 100% sure it was a bluff, what would we be saying now?
The Israelis are certainly not innocents in the art of aggressor, but the constant threat of an enemy who would not be satisfied with simple defeat, eradication only please, certainly concentrates the mind. My viewpoint is simple here, but the Israelis see their options as simple also......
