This is a really bad idea!

Israel's defense minister hinted Saturday that the Jewish state is preparing for military action to stop

Iran's nuclear program, but said international diplomacy must be the first course of action.

"Israel will not be able to accept an Iranian nuclear capability and it must have the capability to defend itself, with all that that implies, and this we are preparing," Shaul Mofaz said.

Okay look, I agree that it is not a good idea for Iran to get access to nuclear weaponry. I also understand how Israel may feel especially threatened by this development. But this is just not a good idea.

If Israel actually does attack Iran it will start a monstrous battle that will pit the Muslims against the Jews and Christians in a holy war to beat all holy wars.

Once the Israelis send planes into Iran, Iran will retaliate. They will ask for support from other Islamic nations which may feel honor bound to support Iran. If Israel finds itself facing defeat it will not hesitate to call on the United States to protect them. Once that happens the entire planet may find themselves choosing sides.

Now the conspiracy side of my personality can't help wondering if this is not part of George Bush's "master plan". It is just stupid enough to have come from his warped mind. His administration has made a point of talking about being in a war against terror that is inspired by the Islamic fundamentalists. This would be one way to put a stop to them once and for all. Or maybe, destroy the whole fucking planet!

Please tell me I am wrong!
