The 'Wall Street Journal' asserts that the Obama administration
is pushing Israel toward a pre-emptive military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, probably by next spring.
It might actually want Israel to attack without inviting the perception that it has colluded with it.
The longer the U.S. delays playing hardball with Iran, the sooner Israel is likely to
strike. Such a strike may well be in Israel's best
interests.
The ' Wall Street Journal' concludes with 'that very useful Roman
adage': Si vis pacem, para bellum.
