State Sponsored Terrorism
What terrorist groups are linked to Iran?
U.S. officials say Iran mostly backs Islamist groups, including the Lebanese Shiite militants of Hezbollah (which Iran helped found in the 1980s) and such Palestinian terrorist groups as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. A few months after Hamas won the Palestinian Authority (PA) elections in early 2006, Iran pledged $50 million to the near-bankrupt PA. The United States, among other nations, has cut off aid to the PA because of Hamas’ terrorist ties.
Why do you think Iran has resorted to state sponsored terrorism? Why do we not do anything to stop them? How much of this has to do you think has to do with Israel?

Nuclear issues
How do we know about Israel’s nuclear program?
American U-2 spy planes in 1958 confirmed the existence of Israel's Dimona nuclear complex, located in the Negev desert. U.S. inspections of Israeli nuclear sites in the 1960s proved largely fruitless because of restrictions placed on the inspectors. Instead, much of what the outside world knows about Israel's nuclear capabilities came from Mordechai Vanunu, a nuclear technician who worked at Dimona and leaked details of the program to the British press in 1986. For his actions, he was sentenced for treason and espionage and spent eighteen years behind bars in Israel, eleven of them in solitary confinement.
Do you think that there is a possibility of a Nuclear attack from the terrorist in the Middle East? How likely is it that Israel will give up their nuclear bombs? Why do you think they were keeping quiet about the fact that they had nuclear bombs? What do you think they gain from having nuclear bombs other then for protection?
