Nuke Iran?

There's been a lot of talk about a story that appeared in the London Sunday Times that Israel is preparing a nuclear strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

The story may be accurate, but it may not be. I got the sense in Israel that a consensus has formed that Iran will have to be attacked sooner or later, and probably by Israel. The Iranian president simply cannot be allowed to get hold of an atomic bomb. So, it is possible that battle plans are already drawn up for such a military operation.

But one thing you have to remember about the Sunday papers in London is that they tend to sensationalize. Sunday stories are held to a lower journalistic standing than the rest of the week. There tends to be a higher amount of anonymous sourcing on stories.
