One thing I know is that the US needs a president with a much more deft hand in dealing with foreign affairs then what mrs clinton has just displayed.
I think she's just pandering for the redneck conservative vote, and it's a pretty irresponsible way to get that, by making such inflammatory and dangerous statements.

Being a holy land didn't didn't stop past wars between Israel and other Arab nations.

A war is different then nuclear obliteration. Not to mention many of those wars were in arab countries defending themselves from israeli attacks.

The Iran president himself has talked about wiping out Israel.

A commonly used bit of propaganda so I don't blame you for lapping it up, but he never said that. He said he wants to see the nation of Israel disbanded, ie, a reversal of what the british did when they created Israel, this is what the sense of "wiped off the map" meant. This is not the same as destroying it with weaponry. It was a mistranslation. He would not want to see it literally wiped off the map because it is the muslim holy land.

Israel could easily be nuked while sparing select cities.

A little off topic, but how do you know? I hate when people make off the cuff remarks like this. What do you know about the mechanics of a nuclear assault on a country and it's consequences?

Letting Iran nuke Israel and then just standing aside would tell any third world nation they can run over anyone if they get nukes..

That's not the issue though because Iran doesn't even have nukes. Whats more important is that potential candidates for presidency not make such dangerous and provocative remarks that will further inflame international hatred of the US and push tension levels between the two countries to a new brink. They are the comments and attitude of an aspiring war monger and display the level of intelligence of a testosterone fueled teenager.
