Cooters, I think Israel faces a tough dilemma re: Iraq's nuclear weapons for several reasons. First, nukes are now small and easily hidden. Assuming that any which threaten Israel are in SCUD missiles, Israel has to take all the SCUDs out in order to be assured that it destroyed the nukes. Destroying all of the missiles in one fell swoop is a daunting challenge. We couldn't do it in the Gulf War. What if the nukes are well hidden in some scattered warehouses? The Israeli's only feasible way of making sure that maybe, just maybe, all of the Iraqi nukes are destroyed is to use nukes of their own. What about bacteriological weapons? What if they survive? These issues are incredibly complex. I pity Israel's and American leaders. The decisions they will have to make soon are probably some of the most difficult that any human beings have ever faced.
