@Health, good point – I should move from the UK to the US, since it’s even further away from Iran. 🙂
Seriously, living in the UK really does give me an amazing peace of mind, in that regard. In E”Y I was there during the last parts of the second ‘intifada’, I was there during the 2006 Lebanon war, and I always knew some day there was the chance we would suddenly get hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands (just recently the IDF Chief of Stadd said 200,000) missiles raining down on me.
Here in the UK, there is, basically, no serious chance of anything like that ever going to happen again anytime soon. The Iranian missiles can’t reach the UK, and even if they could, Iran couldn’t by any means build enough nukes to turn all of Europe into a huge parking lot.
Really, the knowledge that the UK is safe from any type of local war (excluding the Falklands which is heating up, but that’s not exactly ‘local’ even though it is UK territory), really does give me some peace of mind.
