TEL AVIV -- Benjamin Netanyahu formally took office as Israel's prime minister Wednesday with a vow that the Jewish state would not be cowed by the threat of Iran's growing power.

"We won't let any person or state put a question mark over our existence," he said as he presented his government to Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in Jerusalem.

The Knesset confirmed Mr. Netanyahu's new government late Tuesday by a 69-45 vote.

Mr. Netanyahu said Israel's biggest threat stems from the possibility that a radical regime will get nuclear weapons.

Mr. Netanyahu also said he seeks to make common cause with moderate Arab countries against "extremist Islam.''

"Today, this aspiration is bolstered by a common interest between Israel and the Arab states against the fanatic obstacle that threatens all of us," he said.

The return of Mr. Netanyahu to the prime ministership after a decade has raised concern about potential friction between Israel and the United States over the pace of the peace process with the Palestinians.

We kept hearing how Israel had a right to protect herself during the recent scuffle. Now, are those same people gonna argue that Iran has a right to protect herself? (Israel and US are both running covert ops inside Iran)

At least Israel has a realistic viewpoint of Iran and isn't worried what the rest of the world thinks, they do what they have to to protect themselves, unlike our current administration.

Actually, every country has the right to try to protect itself. Israel is just better at it than most. Iran can try to protect itself, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will not suceed against an attack by Israel or us...just sayin'
