I am not sure how the U.S.A keeps Iran in check?I know we do not buy oil from Iran,but that in itself has little effect on Iran.China and Europe just take up the slack.Our economy tanking has hurt them more by bringing down the price of oil.

If Iran could wipe out Israel they would.That in itself tells me that they are a tool against Iran and in trying to keep some kind of stability in the middle east.Israel is at war with the same people that would love destabilize the middle east and cut off oil supplies to us.I know that we do not buy that much oil from the middle east but it is sold on a world market.Disrupt the flow out of the middle east and the price of oil will sky rocket.I myself would like to know we had Israel as an ally in the middle east to combat this.
