Hello,

I think they are doing their best to emulate their teachers. As is often the case, the student is not as sophisticated as their master.

Yep. The Russians use radio active isotopes , not grenades.

Hello,

The Isrealis conduct worldwide assassination of their enemies, and have since their inception. They are the teachers.

The Iranians have catchup to do.

Out of sheer necessity, the Israelis hunted down and killed NAZIs on the run, and terrorists who murder their citizens. ( Munich, '72 ring a bell ? ) I hope you're not equating what the Iranians are doing to that of the Israelis. You'd be show casing a tremendous level of naivete , if that's the case.

Oh, and let's not overlook the real issue here, of Iran as a state funded source of TRUE global terrorism.

Hello,

I believe that naivete' is equating actions only when you can identify with the people committing them.

What do you think Israel would do if their nuclear scientists were assassinated?

Shylock has a lesson to teach.

Sorry, all things aren't equal. Israel isn't trying to wipe Iran off the face of the map.

And I know you've not overlooked the IED's that have found their way across the border from Iran into Iraq.

Hello,

You seem to be confusing morality with tactics.
Iran is doing exactly what Israel has done, with a touch less finesse.

Like, yanno, assassinating their people, threatening them and trying to browbeat them politically and economically ?
Using our military by proxy to do it ?

Gee, now THAT wouldn't piss anyone off would it now....

And you seem to be forgetting that Iran has been exporting terrorism and death for quite some time. Normally, they outsource this sort of stuff to Hamas or Hezbollah, among others.
