Wiping Israel off of the map? So? Why is this our problem? Israel is irrelevant to US interests, though the oil sitting under the sands of the rest of the countries in that region is very much of a STRATEGIC concern to the well being of the ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The only reason we should be concerned about Iran is if they threaten the oil fields, not your precious Israel. As a matter of FACT, the only threat to America's STRATEGIC concerns in that region of the world is Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their religious fanatics are the ones who are endlessly stirring up the pot. They're the ones with nukes. If anything, the US needs to eliminate Israel's arsenal of nuclear weapons, not Iran's.
