Iran Attack Infuriates NYT Readers

See All Images

In a New York Times Op Ed article dated July 18, and titled "Using Bombs to Stave Off War", Prof. Benny Morris of Ben-Gurion University warns that Israel "will almost surely attack Iran's nuclear sites in the next four to seven months ...and if the attack fails, the Middle East will almost certainly face a nuclear war - either through a subsequent pre-emptive Israeli nuclear strike or a nuclear exchange shortly after Iran gets the bomb."

The article has aroused the fury of New York Times readers, many of whom have called Prof Morris insane for proposing a doomsday solution to resolve the impasse created by Iran's declared intention to enrich uranium for use as fuel to generate electricity. One of the readers speculated that this was a trial balloon to gauge US public opinion. If this is so, Israeli leaders should draw the sensible conclusion that the world does not favor a nuclear or conventional Armageddon in the MIddle East or anywhere else for that matter.

One can also hope that the professor does not reflect official Israeli thinking, otherwise the world will be in for horrors on the scale of World War II, with millions of casualties and shattered lives and economies all over the region.

It is not too late to arrive at a peaceful solution, if necessary a partial solution, that would safeguard Iran's right to have access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and at the same time meet the goal of preventing nuclear proliferation.
