Gas masks and sealed rooms are worthless against nuclear weapons. The best protection involves evacuating civilians from cities, underground blast shelters, complex air filtering and iodine tablets. That the Israelis (not the Iranians) aren’t preparing for a nuclear attack is, in fact, reassuring.

Both Iran and Israel have launched satellites. As Americans realized after the first “sputnik”, if you can put something in orbit you can bring it down anywhere (that includes Flatbush, should you want).

Whether the Iranians (or the Israelis for that matter) are competent to set up a nuclear device over hostile territory is questionable. It’s hasn’t been done for over 60 years, and the both times it happened before the pilot didn’t have to deal with groundfire – no one has ever set off nuclear device attached to a rocket under combat conditions, ever.

Even the attempt to do so would be grounds for massive retaliation from the other side and its (by then, self-righteous allies), which suggests that Israel is more likely to let the Mossad deal with the matter than to start a war, and which suggests Iran wants a deterent rather than to gets its country levelled. Frankly, having next year’s World Series being between the Orioles and the Mets (note I didn’t say Nats).

#1 — Actually, the “authorities” have been making preparation. All summer long the Israeli government has been running distribution points for people to get new gas masks throughout the country. The Israeli government has a website with comprehensive information of how everyone should prepare themselves with an English version(if the mods allow this, the site is oref.org.il). Knowing how to use your security room and having basic communication and supplies is not a new idea here in Israel. Do you think the government will issue an announcement to get ready before attacking?!
