the assumption was that the israelis would launch an air attack.
same basic idea was tossed about publicly by the bush people a couple years ago.
it seems to me that this is a dangerous game by any number of standards--not least of which is that if nuclear weapons proliferation is in fact the problem that it should be, at least for rational people, you'd think that the israeli nuclear arsenal would be every bit as much a threat as the possibility that at some future date as yet unspecified that iran might acquire them. because, you know, the israelis actually have nukes.
but frankly, neither of these countries, no matter what i think of their policies, worry me as much as the fact that pakistan has nukes. *that* is a problem, but i don't see anyone threatening to launch air strikes to knock their capabilities out.
