Window of Opportunity

These ups and downs are killing me -- last week I thought something great was about to happen -- as a "coalition" seemed to be building, including those few Arab states -- that we were about to somehow destroy Iran's nuclear facilities with the brave start made by the Israelis. Now I'm not so sure.

Is that even possible? Could a nuclear or military expert please comment on whether or not airstrikes could take out Iran's nuclear facilities? If so, it should be done now, or this window of opportunity will close. I guess Pipes was right again.

I have this quirky obsession -- that of wanting my kids and the U.S. and good people everywhere to survive Islamism. All Pakistan needs is an assassination and we're in deep trouble. At least let's take care of Iran. I'm starting to get seriously worried.
