Con Coughlin, exec.editor at The Daily Telegraph here maintains that Israel is currently negotiating to enable their planes to over-fly Iraqi airspace to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Coughlin's sources are usually quite solid. i suggested yesterday that such an attack may well now be imminent.
But before the Western liberals run around complaining bitterly that "all channels have not been exhausted" let me say this. Iran has publicly stated its intention that, when it has the capability, it will "wipe Israel from the map!" There is no reason to disbelieve dictatorial tyrannies with an ideological agenda when they make such threats. That is, if we do not wish to resurrect the 'appeasement at any cost' spirit of Neville Chamberlain.
Unlike for the rest of us armchair critics this is all too real a threat for the people of Israel. Iran has resisted every attempt by the world community to stop its pursuit of nuclear abilities (a thoroughly nonsense proposition in a country with the world's second largest oil and gas reserves). These lunatic Ayatollahs cannot be allowed to threaten Israel or anyone else, by being allowed to have a nuclear option.
Personally I am for dropping all our Western liberals on them - let them suffer their idealistic fantasies for a change. In the long run they are actually more of a threat to Western civilization than the mad Ayatollahs.
