>My greatest political worry today is that Israel will attack Iran and even with public denouncements and denials by both countries, muslim believers world-wide will of course believe otherwise.
But the even sadder thing is that if Iran *said* Israel attacked it, muslim believers world wide would believe it.
There is not a high standard of "reality" when God is whispering in your ear.
I understand what you are saying but I honestly don't know how I feel about which would be worse - living the consequences of Israel taking out Natanz, Arak and the one near Qom or living with the consequences of Iran with nukes.
I am pretty sure, however, that the current government in Israel has very strong feelings about which one they'd rather live with.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
