Dear Ahmad,
 
     Thanks for the article reference.  I assure  you that I have no 
interest in having such a nuclear
exchange occur.
 
     As for this all being a political issue, I am a  bit bothered by this 
statement.  Here in New Jersey
are US government facilities like Fort Dix, Lakehurst, Picatinny Arsenal,  
Lockheed Martin, 
Singer/Kearfott, Fort Monmouth, etc.  If some person in Iran launches  a 
nuclear tipped rocket
6000 km, and is a bit off target, then my home in Mercerville, New Jersey  
would be gone.  
And perhaps I would be vaporized or worse.  I really don't view  this as a 
political issue.
 
      Again, thank you for your continued postings  to radsafe.
 
     Regards,    Joseph R. (Joe)  Preisig, PhD

Joe,

You obviously insist on imposing a political issue  in the wrong forum. To 
satisfy your interest, I suggest you check this  article. And the comments 
you find there are tons more than radsafe can  provide you.

"An Iranian attack on Israel would amount to Iran signing  its own death 
warrant. It is a horror even to imagine, but the reality is that  a nuclear 
attack anywhere in Israel, would murder tens of thousands of  innocents, Jews 
and Arabs, with radiation fallout spreading death and  deformity over a wide 
radius that would infect hundreds of thousands more in  the  neighborhood"
