The recent story in the news regarding the possibility of Israel taking military action against Iran does not bode well for the international community.
If Israel chooses this course of action, it could have very dire consequences for the entire Middle East, and also the rest of the world.
While no one wants to see Iran become a nuclear armed nation, all non-military efforts need to be exerted to have Iran not build a nuclear arsenal. The United States, Russia, China, Great Britian and France need to work together, along with Israel, to diffuse this potentially dangerous situation. Israel certainly has a right to defend itself against possible attack, as do all nations.
We need to work together along with the United Nations to bring a nonmilitary resolution to this mounting crisis.
