With Israel flexing its muscles at the moment in a 'this town ain't big enough' row with Iran, one has to ask.

If Israel attacks Iran preemptively can the West afford to stand back and not do anything?

Wouldn't this be two faced?

But what action should or could the West do to save face?

We have to take into consideration that it could escalate to an all out war between Israel and Islamic states not discounting the use of nuclear warheads if Israel is put into a position where they may be overrun.
Could the West survive? Would we see a crash bigger than the depression and the possibility of World War?

Is it about time Israel had its reins pulled in. How can the West justify it being a nuclear state whilst we stop countries around it from 'protecting' themselves.

I fear every action and re-action that Israel makes, as it takes us one step towards the biblical recorded Armageddon.
