The Iranian threat

Ed Morrissey, over at Captain's Quarters has a post up pointing out some
lessons from history as relates to Iran. And then he asks an important question (emphasis added):

That's the reason why all of this talk about wiping Israel off the map has to be taken seriously, even apart from Iran's nuclear program. When nations repeatedly talk about wiping other nations off the map, history shows that they usually follow through. Stoking anti-Semitism through bogus symposiums starring such hatemongers as David Duke fans the political fires they need to eventually take action to match their rhetoric.

With Ahmadinejad's popularity dropping, he may feel pressed to take that action sooner rather than later. Do we know how we will react to an Iranian attack on Israel?

Well, do we? We need to knowthat answer, because we are going to have to act on it someday in the not so distant future.

And we need to be prepared.
