Hi Nadine,
The attack iran folks also ignore iranian demographics. Such an attack by israel unites the country behind the clerics and thus neutralizes the power of the younger generation. We have to remeber that iran is like china and although the young wish to copy the US, they are not about to succumb to either us or our proxy israel in this case. They may not hate israel now, but they certainly will after an attack. Just like chinese students get so agitated over taiwan or japan or the serbia incident or the US plane incident. Attacking iran is worse than their attaining nukes. At least in the latter case, there should be sanctions, and clear deterrence against first use in place. And the students support of the government cannot be assumed by the clerics over time. Whipping up nationalism by a regime is one thing, while being attacked by another country is quite alot more. mike
