the Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards

Shouldn't be shedding tears over the crying diplomats. In '81 Israel took care of business bombing Iraq's nuclear reactor. Boohoo cried the world: UN resolution passed condemning Israel (supported by the U.S. and the subsequent suspension of F-16 deliveries). Retrospectively it was one helluva smart move. If we always wrung our hands over what the diplomats might say we'd do exactly nothing and the world would be a more dangerous place.

Heh Heh. So if this comes off we can say "OK Israel, no more bunker-busting smart bumbs for you! Cut off! Bad Israel."
