This time is different -- Sharon has said he won't sit by and let them attack Israel and not retaliate!

If Iraq thinks Israel will retaliate if attacked, why would Iraq still attack Israel? Do they really think their Arab (muslim) neighbors would side with Iraq against Israel?

I don't think we are dealing with a dictator with a full deck of brains right now so hard to figure what he might do when cornered!

One Scud missle full of VX Gas could kill a lot of Isrealis. I suspect that moving the Scuds to a position to reach Isreal might be sufficient to trigger a preemptive nuclear strike by Isreal.
