I agree that the leaders of Iran need to be stopped. A nuclear program in the hands of a friendlier government wouldn’t concern me as much. Which is why I prefer that a strike to take out the Mad Mullahs, and their vociferous mouthpiece, Ahmadamdingdong, be the preferred option. Any nuclear attack, and I don’t care how limited it may be in yield, has the potential for unintended consequences that could be horrific. Both for the average Iranian, and for the state of Israel.
There are two interesting articles, that I read recently, that I found enlightening.
‘Think tank’ urges government to attack Iran’s nuclear program.
The Iranian Who Wants an Apocalypse.
I do agree with Carl’s assessment, that as long as Olmert is the PM of Israel, this alleged ‘plan’ will remain just that, without implementation.

That is what is puzzling about it. If Israel were to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, why not go for the leaders of the nation that has developed ties with Israel’s next door enemies as well? There’s already going to be enough wrath thrown at Israel for the bombing of nuclear sites; why not allow all wrath to be thrown at once instead of spacing it out?

Supposedly a nuclear strike like the one described above is the only way to actually destroy the facilities because they were dug so deeply into the ground, but they are based on French design so who knows.
