<p><img src="images/stories/mikeevans.jpg" border="0" alt="Dr. Michael Evans" hspace="7" align="left" />I have received an email from a friend and supporter of the Jerusalem Prayer Team who lives in Jerusalem with an urgent message about massive troop movements underway in Israel. The scale of the mobilization is like nothing this family has seen in more than twenty years in the Jewish state. They have seen massive armored columns being moved toward the front lines, additional air and missile defense batteries being put in place, and buses filled with soldiers making the trip to the Western Wall for prayers prior to being deployed.   <a href="http://jerusalemprayerteam.org/email/2012/0917.htm?dn=1032&amp;source=10056&amp;id=566928&amp;commid=328050089&amp;CFID=15422367&amp;CFTOKEN=67502563"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: small;">READ MORE</span></span></strong></a></p>

<p>A nuclear-armed Iran would undermine US interests and power, but it would not constitute an unbearable threat to the United States. The Iranian bomb constitutes an existential threat to Israel, not to America. So Israel has good reasons to suspect that the current US Administration is bluffing when it says that all options are on the table to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. The US badly wants out of the Middle East. The war in Iraq is over, and the war in Afghanistan will be over soon. The US does not want to be part of another war. </p>
