Interesting article, I can't say I agree with all or even most of the authors conclusions, and I'd like to know more about the author, where he's from, his background etc.
With all of the rhetoric that is constantly spewing out of Ahmadinejad's pie hole I don't think Israel can afford to just sit back and do nothing, nor do I think that negotiations with Iran will bear any fruit, which leaves very few options on the table.
Personally I think the likelihood of Iran launching a unilateral nuclear strike on Israel utilizing traceable missile is low, however I think the likelihood of them covertly transporting a small nuke to Israel and detonating it are significantly higher, either way I don't think Israel will cross their fingers and place their faith in "hope and change" to fix the situation.
I know that there are some politically sensitive issues with them using US made weaponry to attack Iran like the F-15s and F-16's and more importantly the armament that goes with them, but if Iran continues down the nuclear path, which all signs point to, Israel is going to act IMO, with or without our permission, because at the end of the day, they are going to act in their best interest.
