Ahmadinejad has given the Israeli's moral imperative to strike and strike well.
When a sworn enemy stands at your curtilage and calls out, "I'll soon slay you and yours", when is the threat one of immediacy?
The sane answer is clearly, when that enemy has the capability to assault you beyond the threat itself.
There is the oft recounted tale of Philip II of Macedon, that may serve to remind all of where and when danger is announced.
Philip sent Sparta a message: "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city."
The Spartans answered with the one word reply "If."
Israel knows that with the apocalyptic regime that takes its stride from the Mullahs of Qom, "If" has become "When."
God willing, the Israeli's will not leave the skies of Iran until the strikes have also sighted the leadership of Ahmadinejad, the centers at Qom that breed the Ayatollah's bad harvest and the Revolutionary Guard Corps' ground, air, and sea units.
Only a decimation of the hydra and its heads can make the Israeli action one that creates immediate 'Iranian Thermidor' for this ageing and viperous revolution.
Israel, the U.S. and Europe will have to deal simultanously with Hezbollah, the Levant and the Gulf but all are part of the frenzy that 29 years of unfettered Iranian Revolution have created.
How many of you would let another individual promise your slaughter before you'd debilitate them on a dead run for your own survival ...
On the day "If" turned to "When."
