Pre-emptive Iranian Strike?

There is more chatter and rumors running around regarding a war between Israel and Iran. Now the latest comments are coming from some officials in Iran who are recommending that Iran strike Israel BEFORE Israel has the opportunity to take out it's nuclear facilities. Whichever way the missiles fly (if they do), a war in the middle east put on top of the world's current financial crisis WOULD put the world into an even greater tailspin.

Haaretz News has an article about it here; http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1030279.html

"There will be wars and rumors of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately." Spoken by Jesus Christ, Mount of Olives, 29 A.D.
