Israel and US Threats Against Iran by JOSHUA FRANK

President Bush declared on January 13, that a nuclear-armed Iran would pose "a grave threat to the security of the world," and in particular, Israel.

This exact same rhetoric was invoked prior to the Iraq invasion. But it's not the world community that really feels threatened. It's allegedly Israel. So a war on Iran would be a war for Israel's security, not necessarily the United States' -- and certainly an invasion would not lead to democratization. Never mind that Israel already harbors a nuclear arsenal and has violated Security Council resolutions.
