Yes we know what Menachem Begin would have done and he probably would not have waited until now. But Menachem is not here although missed. It is reported that Israel asked former President Bush for certain bombs to do this work. It is also reported that President Bust did not provide that choosing to wait and use other mean. Those means have failed. The only problem and risk is what affect the destruction of the reactor would have on the budding democratic movement in Iran. Would it enhance opportunity for freedom or doom it in political reaction to the attack. A properly done attack would show that the current gangsters in Iran have not just angered the entire world and the UN agencies but have failed to even protect Iran militarily. Perhaps that would be enough for the Iranian people to through the bums out and liberate themselves. Perhaps. It is nice to me reminded of those former days. And thank G-D for the Wall Street Journal too. Kenneth Ellman Newton, New Jersey ke@kennethellman.com A very simple, clear and well done article.
