And why would Israel blow up Iran, if Israel is blown up by some terrorist organization with no known leader, sponsor and borders? Tracing their roots back to the actual source may prove to be a slippery task, and I'm not sure Israel would want to attack the wrong country, would they? What if they're sponsored by Saudi Arabia? Or Turkey? Here's a scenario: Turkey sponsors a group which sneaks into Israel and activates a nuclear bomb in a Tel Aviv basement, prompting Israel to blame Iran, while Turkey is rubbing their hands with delight. Too implausible?
Modern warfare has stopped being a great power vs another great power for, like, 60 years. I understand how bound you are to the history books covering events and phenomena that existed more than half a century ago, but here's a news flash: we're living in the 21st century, not the 19th.
And lastly, I was wondering where you'd evoke Hitler's name. It happened in your comment #5. That's a new world record! :-)
