The Republican candidate Mitt Romney gave an address in Jerusalem,
which vowed that America would respect any decsision made by Israel,
should talks with Teheran fail. He emphasized that Israel has the right
to defend itself against an Iran that possesses nuclear weapons and that
it is right for the United States to stand at Israel's side. Israels'
right to a pre-emptive strike would be respected, he underlined.
"When Iran’s leaders deny the Holocaust or speak of wiping this nation
off the map, only the naïve – or worse – will dismiss it as an excess of
rhetoric. Make no mistake: the ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our
moral defenses. They want to know who will object, and who will look the
other way.
My message to the people of Israel and the leaders
of Iran is one and the same: I will not look away; and neither will my
country. As Prime Minister Begin put it, in vivid and haunting words,
“if an enemy of [the Jewish] people says he seeks to destroy us, believe
him.” Full story @allvoices.com
