I realize that there are political affliliations, left vs. right, concerning Israel and the Middle East. But in this case, Iran's provoking a country that very well may launch a first attack, to take out nuclear facilities, especially after Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial; the test firing is pure lunacy.
