On last night while getting into my warm bed. I thought about the instability of our world and how our lives are in the balance so-to-speak. The comforts we Americans enjoy could one day change. Years ago, I visited Isreal. During my visit, I noticed armed soldiers in almost every public area. Unfortunately, there had been a school bus bombing and other terrorist attacks at the time.
For now, we are blessed here in America we don't worry about school bus bombings or suicide bombers inside our malls and restaurants. These type threats are ongoing in Isreal. Who knows, armed guards in public places may be a constant in this country one day. We are all connected both directly and indirectly...
It's been praying time, but it's
urgent now.
The following is a transcript from Greta Van Susteren's interview with Isreal's Prime Minister Netanyahu
"On The Record"
on March 7, 2012.
VAN SUSTEREN: You talk about the Jewish future, but you also touched on last night that if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, obviously you are in the direct line of fire and Ahmadinejad has made very derogatory marks and stated his very ugly intentions towards Israel.
NETANYAHU: Now you are being a diplomat. He said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth and they are developing nuclear weapons to do it, for that purpose. Not only for that. They could shut down the Straits of Hormuz. They are threatening that. You are worried about the price of oil today. Think about what it would mean if Iran, this radical regime that chants "Death to America! Death to Israel!" A, they get their hands on atomic bombs.
They could use it against any one of us, they could give it to their terrorist proxies to use against any one of us, they could threaten credibly to block the Straits of Hormuz, which would send the price of oil skyrocketing, not anything that even remotely resembles what we have now, and they will pocket the dough because they are oil producers.
So these are things that could change the world. It could be like a hinge of history. We could live in another time. We have never had since the advent of nuclear weapons a regime that could act with such irresponsibility having those weapons of mass death.
So I think this is something that we should -- we should talk about. Everybody talks about the -- you know, the costs of taking action, to stop Iran. I think it's important to start on the cost of not acting to stop Iran, of a world in which the ayatollahs would have atomic bombs. I think that would be catastrophic.
