That's total crap. Israel did the world a favor by taking out the Osiraq facility. THe reactor was there for no other purpose than to provide plutonium in significant amounts for use in Saddam's weapons program.

Israel was facing a madman with the stated intent of using nuclear weapons on them, and exercised their right of anticipatory self defense.

When Saddam launched SCUD's at Israel, his intent was to kill civilians. When Israel took out Osiraq, their intent was to save civilians. You believe Saddam should have nuclear weapons, but not Israel which has been repeatedly attached by her neighbors?

>>iraq was a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty and the reactor had recently been subjected to and passed a UN-sanctioned IAEA inspection.

Now who is being naive'? THe IAEA inspectors destroyed vast amounts of nuclear weapons materials during their inspections after the Kuwait war. Odd that a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty would be in possession of such materials.
