So Brett is effectively saying that Israel must have effective deterrence but Iran cannot? [shudders] if this is what you are gambling on to stop a war in the middleast,you must be out of your mind[heard this kinda talk for worldwar one].....for iran have said they will ramp up their escalation and i think they will[just for the fact that people like brett are saying they cant and cant do much damage?they might have something to prove as well?]...last time it was military bases and they got thru? what will it be this time however? and what happens if american troops get caught in the crossfire? Yes, i thought the issue would be how to restrict this war...not how to get into the "mystical" one sided fight where only one side inflicts damage on the other....the realisation that if you hit someone, they will hit back, and his reading that "they can do very little damage" always seems to backfire in their faces :(

I seem to remember a certain missile crisis that equally got out of control , for both sides wanted to maintain deterrence and didnt want to appear weak? where did that lead?
