[QUOTE="soberups, post: 942621, member: 14668"] Nations such as Iran and Syria are [I]already[/I] technically in a state of war with Israel. They do not recognize Israels right to even exist as a nation. Iran in particular is actively supplying terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah with the missiles that they launch into Israel from their bases in Lebanon. And, unlike Egypt, Syria never signed a peace treaty with Israel after the Yom Kippur war. As far as the morality of a pre-emptive attack goes....should Israel be expected to sit back and wait until [I]after[/I] Tel Aviv is reduced to a radioactive pile of rubble before taking measures to defend itself? Here is a better analogy. Lets say you have a next door neighbor who threatens to kill you every time you step outside your front door. Lets say this neighbor starts fires on your lawn, and poisons your cats, and hangs posters up all over the neighborhood saying that you should be killed. Lets say that one day you are minding your own business in your yard and you look over and see this neighbor pointing a high powered rifle at you and getting ready to load it. Do you wait until [I]after[/I] he pulls the trigger before taking action to defend yourself? Or...given his ongoing hostile behavior...do you shoot the guy [I]before[/I] he has the chance to pull the trigger? [/QUOTE]
