Yes, but we all forget the Israeli policy and the use of nuclear weapons. It
is called the Sampson Option. It basically says that Israel will only use
Nukes as a last resort and they are backed against the wall and their AF and
Army have lost. With that said a 20 Kt warhead would be able to penetrate a
reactor and destroy the Iranian Nuclear program! Lets just hope it never
comes to that!

Didn't somebody once say that, in fighting terrorism, we will
make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor
them?
