SO, they assassinate Scientists. Is that really so surprising or such a big deal? Thousands are locked in an open prison to punish the fanatical terrorists that live amongst them. At least picking off some top egg heads might actually work.
this entire conversation is ironic, since i just finished reading the book "Raid on the Sun" which was the story of how israel denied Saddam the bomb through assassinations and finally the famous raid.
fascinating story.
before we bombed the reactor, we took out key iraqi scientists, which delayed the iraqi project so we had time to get ready for the attack.
but hey, it worked, and saddam never got the bomb! plus after that foreign scientists were scared to work for iraq.

im going to put outs israels view very plainly:
israel cannot afford to take chances on this issue, just like they didnt take chances with saddam.
whether that looney in teharan actually means to destroy israel, we cant take that chance. its almost suicide if we do.
