(Amen Brother Shaul Mofaz. You said it best. The following is what Israel's transportation minister had to say to Senator Barack Obama while he was on his pilgrimage to Israel. Way to let him hear the unadulterated truth! VN8)
As "someone who was born and spent his childhood in Iran, I know the Iranian people very well," Israel's transportation minister, Shaul Mofaz — who is running against Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to replace Mr. Olmert as leader of the Kadima Party — wrote in an "open letter" to Mr. Obama in the Jerusalem Post. "I can tell you that the only language that can be used in this case is the language of strength," Mr. Mofaz wrote.
Shaul Mofaz (help·info) (Persian: شائول موفاز, Hebrew: שאול מופז, born 1948 in Tehran, Iran) is the current Israeli Minister of Transportation and a Deputy Prime Minister, and a former Minister of Defense. Previously he was the 16th Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, and was the second Israeli of a Mizrahi background to achieve that post.
Mofaz has had the unique distinction of serving under four different Israeli Prime Ministers, having been appointed as Chief of Staff by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (1996-1999) in 1998, then served under Prime Minister Ehud Barak (1999-2001), and was then appointed as Minister of Defense in 2002 by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (2001-2006), and presently serves under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

We should not forget that the Iranians are muslims as well. No wonder if the only way to deal with them is through strength. It's the only way you can stop those fanatical extremists, and I tell ya, I really appreciated when Sen. McCain started singing "Bomb Iran"...lol
