France and Iraq...

I just found the following interesting...

Being a young'n, I had no idea that the Jaques Chirac sold Iraq a Nuclear Reactor...

Israel took it out in a mission that shocked the world.

Interesting quote from the leader of the Israeli Mission: (found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osirak)

"Deterrence was not attained by other countries – France and Italy – and even the United States. It was attained by the State of Israel and its Prime Minster who decided, acted and created a fact that no one in the world today – with the exception of our enemies – regrets." -- Yitzhak Shamir

Here is a 45 minute documentary on it.

Very interesting, I think...
