Then everyone troops to the park after school and there is never a fight. Or there's a bit of pushing and shoving and everyone goes home. And then the next day it's all talk again, Jimmy threatening to beat up Bob, Bob saying he'll get his "mental" big brother involved... and again... nothing.
If Jimmy and Bob would just get down to business and knock seven shades of **** out of each other, then maybe everyone would stop talking about it...

Unfortunately this is not the playground, this is real life, with real people and innocent on both sides would perish if War actually started.
I would always prefer they just "talked" a good fight than actually engaging in one.
Actually a lot of this rhetoric is for domestic Political consumption back home, I cannot believe Israel really thinks a. Iran has a Nuclear Weapon b. A means of safely delivering it and hitting a target in Israel and c. Iran would be so stupid to think it would be a good idea bearing in mind Israel would turn Iran into a sea of glass before even Iran's bomb had even hit its target.
So no I don't think there will be a War with Iran.
I think Israel needs to start thinking about "Peace" with its neighbours, a difficult concept I know but it cannot continue for much longer on its present course.
The tide is turning, In April the Palestinian Authority will be allowed to join the ICC and its first action will be to seek arrest warrants for most of the current Israeli Cabinet and heads of their Military for War crimes and crimes against humanity due to their horrendous attacks in Gaza where they used chemical weapons on a civilian population.
Warrants will be issued no matter how much the Israel and the US protest, this will make Israel a pariah state in the eyes of the World and sanctions against them will follow.
The house of cards that is Israel will start to collapse, it cannot exist for much longer in its present form, it has to seek a permanent, meaningful peace.
So starting a War with Iran is clearly out of the question.
Or is it the last gasp action from a regime that knows it's days are well and truly numbered.
