    China and Russia would not back Iran militarily, however, they would not support the US or Israel in the political realm. As a side note I seriously doubt either the US or Israel would attack Iran unprovoked, just look at the recent US and Iranian encounter at sea for proof.

    Let me tell you something, the last time the US unleashed it's pitbull (Israel) on the middle east, Israel kicked the holy hell out of EVERYONE in a matter of days. I doubt seriously, China, experiencing massive economic success, or Russia would risk war with the US to come to the aid of Iran if they choose to provoke the US or Israel into a war, and that's really what their idiot loudmouth leader is doing afterall isn't he? I mean everything he says screams of an inferiority complex. He's like a little brother that talks all kinds of crap when he thinks his big brother has his back. Say what you want about Bush, he may not be smarter than a 5th grader, but he's certainly not afraid to go to war for almost any reason. Iran's little hitler, ought to rethink his strategy of picking at the bully of the block, soon the bully might turn around and bite his head off.

    I don't think so. Israel will do what it will do. In past they attacked Iraqi nuclear facilities and assassinated a Dutch scientist doing research on a super long range cannon for the Hussein regime because they felt the his invention would be used against them.

    If the Israelis feel threatened enough by Iran they'll not hesitate to attack any Iranian nuclear facilities or go after the scientists doing the work.

    If and when this happens I doubt Russia and China will do little more than protest through diplomatic channels. By the way when Israel attacked Iraq's nuclear facilities the United States was against it.

    Russia has its own problems with muslims, and agrees the overall US operations against the terrorists. thus Russia would only involve through covert weapon deliveries, if at all.

    More than that the US would probably dominate the airspace in the TOE within days, and from that point any deliveries of war equipment would be terminated.

    Iran has missles that can reach Israel. Israel would suffer heavy casualties if war were to break out. Iran probably wouldn't get foreign support though.

    Hot air! Many of you won't remember this, but about 40 years or so Egypt and Isreal went at it. It was like Bambi vs godzilla, .

    Within 3 hours of the start of the war, Egypy's air force was destroyed.

    Isreal would LOVE to have Iran give them an excuse to attack.

    They would dare - if they felt immediately threatened.

    Russia would back up Iran; China would take advantage to go after Taiwan.

    Best estimate put this scenario at about July 2009.

    The same statement like what poor old Saddam said.

    Taking for granted that everyone will sink and swim for him.

    Time change.

    People change too.

    Luke 9.55-56

    Why short-change oneself and all the little ones with the old folks homes?

    Luke 9.25

    Lesson from world war two.

    How the mighty manpower crumbled back in the past.

    Think about it?

    Exodus 20.1-2

    Leviticus 26.13

    What do you think?
