British FM joins foreign 'leaders' appeal to Israel: ‘Don’t hit Iran’.


British FM joins cry babies foreign 'leaders' appeal to Israel: ‘Don’t hit Iran’.(JPost).British Foreign Secretary William Hague advised Israel on Sunday not to attack Iran, saying that the international sanctions against Iran should be given a chance to work.
His comments in a BBC interview came as US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon met with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem for talks focused on Iran.
Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the US put out a statement after that two-hour meeting, and Netanyahu said nothing about it – or the Iranian nuclear program – at a speech immediately after the meeting at the opening of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem.
Donilon also met with Maj.- Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, his Israeli counterpart. He is scheduled to meet Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday before returning to Washington.
Donilon’s visit is taking place just two weeks before Netanyahu is scheduled to travel to Washington for AIPAC’s annual policy conference, and for an expected meeting with US President Barack Obama, where Iran is likely to dominate the discussion.
Hague, meanwhile, said he did not think “the wise thing at the moment” would be for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.“I think Israel, like everyone else in the world, should be giving a real chance to the approach we adopted: very serious economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and the readiness to negotiate with Iran,” he said.Hague said that there were two possibilities if Iran went ahead with its nuclear program.
Either, they [Iran] will be attacked, and there will be a war, or there would be a cold war, in which Iran for the long term would be subject to very intensive economic sanctions. They would find that other nations in their region developed nuclear regions, and they would be in permanent standoff with those countries.”This would be “like the Cold War, but without many of the safeguards against accidents and misunderstandings that we had in the Cold War,” he said.Hmmmm..........There would be no cold war once Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, unlike during the 'cold war', Iran does not follow the MAD  doctrine.Why is it that the Foreign Secretary skipped Shia eschatology, the Mahdi, the Hidden Twelfth Imam and the realistic possibility that there cannot be a Cold War with Iran since according to scholars of Islam the Iranian leadership may well be Looking forward to starting nuclear war.The problem is not Ahmadinejad alone but the whole regime which believes in shia eschatology.Proff Raphael Israeli is not the only one warning of the demise of MAD.Prof Bernard Lewis has repeatedly warned that for the Iranian Mullahs "Mutally assured destruction is not a deterrent...it's an inducement".Read the full story here.
