Interesting "This World" prog on the box last light about how the Israelis might have to bomb Iran to stop the Mad Mullahs getting their paws on nukes. They know full well they'll be criticised and vilified, but they'll go it alone (even without the US) because know they are the only ones with the guts, and immediate necessity, to stand between civilized Western democracy and a medieval Islamic tyranny.
