America and its allies should duplicate Israel’s legal act of anticipatory self-defense in June 1981.
Israeli warplanes made preemptive strikes against Iraq’s nuclear facilities near Baghdad, destroying a nearly complete French-built reactor suspected of manufacturing weapons-grade fissionable material for nuclear weapons.
Some 21 years later, greatly enhanced spy technologies surely know exactly where weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological and chemical) are now being produced in Iraq, North Korea and Iran—the so-called Axis of Evil.
Using stealth aircraft, smart bombs and guided missiles, American and its allies should simultaneously take out all of the suspected WMD sites without any advance warning.
Those renegade nations are building WMD and intend to use or sell them for terrorist attacks on other nations.
America and its allies have no other alternative. Iraq, North Korea and Iran are insular dictatorships closed to international scrutiny and dialog.
Bingo, bango, bongo. (3 MARCH 2002)
