"And arguably many more lives would have lost if it had not done so - six of one..... "
Just as arguably that this was not the case - which begs the question of the morality of mass slaughter of civilians (not to mention the legacy left to following generations still being born with the after-effects). If we haven't learned the obscenity of nuclear weapons by now we relinquish all claims to humanity IMO.
How on earth can anybody "be greatful when/if Israel takes out Iran's nukes".... and claim to be human (unless, of course somebody has invented a bomb which leaves human beings unscathed and just destroys weapons - have I missed something)?
