Do you think that it was a good thing when Israel bombed the Iraq's nuclear facility and therefore, most likely, prevented a nuclear war?

The quote John posted said that Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said "anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury. . .".
As far as I know, Canada (since you are curious in Canada <g>) recognizes Israel. What would happen if Iran decide to start by bringing a nuclear bomb to Canada first (to show the western world that they mean what they say)? Especially since it would be much easier for them to bring a dirty bomb or a nuclear bomb to Canada (maybe even Toronto <g>) that to the USA?
Would you then say we need to do something about Iran's nuclear ambitions or you still think we should wait for Israel to do something about it? <g>
