Even Sharon, who I cannot trust any farther than I could throw that tub of schmaltz, is neither insane nor stupid enough to attack Iran without provocation.

Unless -- EPG's trying to harken back to the mother of all surgical air strikes, against the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osiraq, and stretching to make some kind of analogy to the potential Iranian nuclear program. Even then, the world is different than it was 23 years ago.

Israel has its hands full already, especailly after today's terrorist bombings on the Egyptian side of the Sinai border, which targeted Israeli tourists celebrating Sukkot in the "wilderness".
