In my posting at 6:21 PM yesterday, I said:

Despite everything that transpired in this case, I don't think you'll find too many Americans, even pacifists who abhor the Iraq wars enacted by both Bushes, who are sorry that the Israelis destroyed Saadam's nuclear capabilities. That action made this planet a much safer place than it otherwise would have been.

I stand by what I said in that paragraph, however, in view of CarolC's last posting, I would like to make a clarification. Other than it being in a posting that was discussing Weinberger's undue influence on the judge in the Pollard case, I did not link Israel's bombing of Iraq's nuclear facility with the Pollard case. No link should be implied.
