On October 28, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the cabinet that he had apologized to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan if Israel violated Turkish airspace during a strike on an alleged nuclear facility in Syria last month.

In a carefully worded statement that was given to reporters after the cabinet meeting, Olmert said: "In my conversation with the Turkish prime minister, I told him that if Israeli planes indeed penetrated Turkish airspace, then there was no intention thereby, either in advance or in any case, to - in any way - violate or undermine Turkish sovereignty, which we respect."

The New York Times reported on October 13 that Israeli planes struck at what US and Israeli intelligence believed was a partly constructed nuclear reactor in Syria on September 6, citing American and foreign officials who had seen the relevant intelligence reports.

According to the report, Israel carried out the report to send a message that it would not tolerate even a nuclear program in its initial stages of construction in any neighboring state.

"We are SO sorry we invaded your space while destroying something that you claim doesn't exist. We really are. Really, believe us because it's true."

Syria is a country that I do not doubt has nuclear weapons. Syria is the country that has been silent in the media for so long--but Syria is the one we should be worried about. Does this mean that we should attack Syria? HELL NO!

This means that if we attack Iran, we may have more to deal with than the Bush administration bargained for.

The only country in the region that is known to have nukes is the same country that is the only one NOT to sign the non-proliferation treaty--Israel!

Israel certainly hasn't denied having them in any sort of meaningful manner--the subject is usually changed or the question is diverted instead of denying their existence--they've said things to the effect of "we are absolutely able to defend ourselves".

It's so easy for me to go off about Israel. I don't like the policies of Israel, but people can't talk about that too much without being labeled an ugly label that doesn't match its definition.
