Will the Israelis destroy Iran's Nuke facility?

Do you think the Israeli airforce will have the nerve to bomb Iran's nuclear facility as they did Iraqs?
At 15:55 on 07 June 1981, F-15's and F-16's roared off the runway from Etzion Air Force Base in southern Israeli, flew over Jordanian, Saudi, and Iraqi airspace and after a tense but uneventful low-level navigation route, the fighters reached their target, the Osiraq Nuke reactor. They popped up at 17:35 and quickly identified the dome gleaming in the late afternoon sunlight. Iraqi defenses were caught by surprise and opened fire too late. In one minute and twenty seconds, the reactor lay in ruins.
Experts estimated that Saddam was 5-10 years away from nuclear capability at the time.
If so, the situaton in Iraq would likely be far different then it is today.

I don't care what the Israelis do so as long as thier decisions don't endanger American lives.
(OR ATTACK ANOTHER USN SHIP!)

I hope they do. Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, and there is really no hope that they will give up their nuclear ambitions on their own.

I do worry about the future of Israel, though. After politics forced them to surrender to Hezbollah, I don't have a lot of confidence that they have the fortitude to stick out a major war against the Arabs.

No one seems to be willing to stand up for what's right anymore.
