I believe that this is the only option the radical islamist nations are giving by backing us in a corner.

Iran seems intent on making that a reality:

Prophesied destruction of Damascus imminent?* – Hal Lindsey –

A stunning report published by Jane's Defense Weekly confirms rumors of a
July explosion at a Syrian military base at al-Safir, near Aleppo, in which
reportedly "dozens" of Iranian engineers were killed along with their Syrian
counterparts.

Syria had originally dismissed reports of the explosion by saying the blast
was generated by the desert heat causing the accidental detonation of a
stockpile of explosives.

Jane's reported that the explosion was actually triggered while the
engineers were fitting a chemical warhead onto a Scud-C missile. The
explosion and fire released containers of the deadly nerve agents VX and
sarin gas, as well as a mustard gas blistering agent.

Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter told reporters this week,
"Iran has entered into strategic cooperation with Syria on conventional and
nonconventional weapons development, " adding, "The Iranians are very big in
Syria."

Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is preparing Syria to cover his flank, should war
break out between Israel and Iran over Tehran's nuclear arsenal. Ahmadinejad
is evidently gambling on Syria taking out Israel while Iran squares off
against the United States. Were Iran and Israel to face each other
head-to-head, one or the other would inevitably cease to exist. Israel would
have no choice but to annihilate Iran before Iran annihilated Israel.

Well your knowledge of Syria clearly shows you dont know what your talking about.

Syria has a very secular/socialist dictatorship not a theocracy like Iran. While they are allied together to say Syria is Islamist is a misnomer.

As for a preemptive nuclear strike, are you nuts or simply blood thirsty. As in any dictatorship the people of Iraq and Syria are not responsible for its actions.

A strike against Iranian nuclear plants might be necessary, but a nuclear strike would be a war crime.


As for war between Israel and Syria, that is looking to become inevitable sometime in the future. The only question is when and who will be in power at the time.
