They have the right to defend themselves and with the uprising going on against the dictatorship. It might be the best time to do this as they will probably get the support of those who want their country rid of this type of government.

Cannot wait to see what Obama would do. Could be interesting.

I hope this is true.

But I tend to distrust any article that does not name the "official" or "source" quoted. No named or identified sources = no story.

I still believe Israel has a superior military and is not going to be timid.
There is no precedent for Israel to be bluffing.
