When the facts were re-examined, moreover, they all indicated that Begin had made the proper decision. The budget for Iraq??s Atomic Energy Commission had increased dramatically from $5 million to $70 million per year in 1976 (a year after the Osirak reactor was purchased). Even more troubling, in 1980 the Italian government had sold Hussein three “hot cells”—nuclear laboratories that are shielded by lead and specifically designed for handling radioactive materials—which, when combined with reprocessing technology, would’ve enabled Iraq to make...

Iran’s leadership shipped a boatload of arms to Palestinian terrorists and is trying to undermine the caretaker government in Afghanistan. North Korea is the world’s last Stalinist state; its leadership pursues long-range missiles and nuclear weapons as millions face starvation...
