The lesson of 1981 is relevant for another reason: While that attack is seen in Israel as an unqualified success, there is evidence that it convinced Saddam Hussein to redouble his efforts to build nuclear weapons.

Damned if you go after them - and damned if you don't?
Should that represent a valid option - allowing to get oneself totally paralysed and depending on the good will that the regimes getting nukes just will act mercifully with mankind?
I don't know about you guys, but I feel that this way of allowing oneself getting paralysed by general "Angst" is unacceptable. I believe in taking the initiave and being strong - because only these two increase the number of your options to act. Being weak and feareful and undecided decreases the number of your options. Its better to have options available and not needing them - than to need them and not having them available.
