I never suggested otherwise. You asked me to remind you when Israel attacked another country without being attacked first, and I did so. Still, to suggest Iraq would have used nukes (at least against US forces) demonstrates a lack of understanding of international relations. Furthermore, to justify this attack in the way you just did is reminiscient of Bush pointing out that at least "the world is better off" even though our basis for going to war was mistaken. If you'd like an example of invasive sovereignty incursions made by Israel you need only look at the Golan Heights.
That being said, I believe the two examples I gave of Isreal attacking others were justified. That doesn't mean they aren't examples of prevention and preemption.
