You can't avoid it.
Your position is that Israel is doomed to be nuked by Iran? That's stupid.

Substitute the "we" in all the above sentences w/"US government", and then it will be correct.
You can't prevent any group (terrorist group) like Hezbollah from getting nuclear material. You can literally bomb Iran into glass and it won't chance the risk Israel still has.Your position is that Israel is doomed to be nuked by Iran? That's stupid.

Frankly, I don't get the impression they take this negotiating bit seriously. Or the US for that matter.True, but people of the ME seem to be very treacherous, and sometimes I worry that people like Kerry are too eager to claim victory by making foolish concessions. Reagan adopted a Russian saying, "Trust but verify". Never completely trust these bastards, because they've seen the North Koreans get away with things.
No one except those equally as nutty.Of course it would change the risk. The Iranian terrorist regime openly and directly supports Hamas and Hez. The greatest risk to Israel will have been eliminated.
We might note, no one wants to bomb Iran into glass.

No, it would not change the risk. For every action there is a reaction. Bombing Iran for whatever reason will spring more groups who will seek the ability to use a nuke.
Iran left alone is more stable then creating 20 or 30 groups seeking nuclear material on the black market.
Seems like we aren't doing much about it though.Iran has thousands of centrifuges enriching uranium. Iran has major oil reserves. Iran openly and directly supports Hamas and Hez. If Iran ceased to exist (as you propose) or otherwise ceased enriching and support of Hamas and Hez, the number one threat to Israel will have been eliminated. To presume that 20 (or 30!) more Irans will spring up is utter nonsense. One could bring BS fantasy future as a counter to any proposed change - it means nothing and, in your case, is particularly disconnected from real world possibilities.
Iran left alone is the greatest threat to regional and global stability the world has ever seen. No nukes for Iran, the entire Western world agrees.
That's all fine and good, unless your opponent sees war as a first resort.

That's what it looks like. There does seem to be a rather large discrepancy between what they do and what they scream in public.
Gee, I wonder who that sounds like?
Well, yes. It just doesn't seem as if many countries are willing to deal with what happens if Iran DOESN'T play ball. Possibly an incorrect impression though.I think we're doing pretty well. I'd prefer a diplomatic solution to invasion and nation building. If the Iranian regime is willing to play ball, we should do everything in our power to push them towards development. War should only be a last resort and only in the most dire circumstances. The deal Obama brokered is being monitored closely and I think it's fine to give it a chance and see if this can be resolved peacefully.

Let me walk you through this.
1) Knock off Iran. 2) Iran's nuclear material goes missing. 3) Can't track missing material. 4) Groups pop up in Syria, ex-Iranian military, Iraq, Egypt, Libya or wherever. 5) These groups get funding from some Oil country who is a "ally". 6) $$$ = nuclear material. 7) Game over.
Yep, so much so American companies, German Companies, French Companies, British Companies and whoever the hell else sold Nuclear Tech to Iran and has violate sanctions all the time.
You said Iran turns to glass. There's no nuclear material to go missing.
Nuclear material doesn't just disappear by bombing to the stone age.. that whole area becomes nuclear material. It's all radioactive.
I suppose you could make a really poor dirty bomb out of radioactive rubble? Be damned unwieldy though.Now you're just being silly.

Maybe an H-bomb on Tehran would change their level of serious. I know it sounds worse than insane, but I wouldn't get to upset we set off about 10 of those over there. Frankly I'm tired of hearing from those idiots. They have been killing their own people for thousands of years.
Drunken callousness will get us nowhere.
You don't go negotiating with those people with a Western mindset.
