I am familiar with those strikes. However, the world was a different place in the early 80s. The danger of (or idea of) terrorism with wmd, whether it be nuclear or biological, was nearly non-existant back then. I understand Israel’s desire to act on Iran, but I think that the potential of such action to spin the middle east and the rest of the world out of control is much, much greater than it was in the early 80s, and that leaders are (or at least should be) aware of that.
