And referring to Cthulu's post, although the Israeli's might not have been in a nation-to-nation conflict in 20 years, there is still the very real threat that Arab Muslim countries such as Iran are actively trying to obtain nukes and smuggle them into the country through the medium of terrorists groups such as hezbollah.
First off, if we are serious about nuclear non-proliferation then Israel's nuclear program must be part of the discussion. How can we pressure Iran to halt it's programs if we don't apply the same standards to Israel?

Second, although Iran has been reviving it's nuclear program, it's pure conjecture to say that they are doing so to hand off the weapons to Hezbollah. This make no real sense, as Iran is not interested in assuring their own destruction and Hezbollah probably doesn't want to irradiate their holy ground and kill untold scores of their own people in the process.
