<<<… I have not dealt with Israel's own purported legal justification for its aerial strike: anticipatory self-defense. [FN17] How can this be reconciled with Article 51 of the Charter, which only allows self-defense "if an armed attack occurs"?>>

Actually, this is a fairly interesting article by Mr. D’Amato, even if only for its historical value, trying to deal with all these issues prior to the Gulf war and 9/11. He also writes:

<<.. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is so enormous as to call into question any and all received rules of international law regarding the trans-boundary use of force. Many of the old rationales for these rules no longer apply.>>

Not a bad article. Thanks. Have you read it?

Thanks God Mr. Begin decided to attack Osirak (also known as Oshirac given French great contribution to build it!) but what do you know. We will nuke Iraq if necessary and will come after you Bengalis if you don't shut up.We will bomb you too! Now go back to your Kebab parlor and read your Playboy, your only source of learning about politics!gg
