re:
WMD in Israel's hands or in Syria, Iraq, Iran, or Egypt's hands is a very different equation. Israel has nukes as a deterrent. They would never use them unless the country risked being destroyed (and if the arabs won a war against them, there would be a massacre of innocents... see the palestinians dancing in the reservists entrails in Ramallah. Also, in past wars, the Arabs have tortured and killed anyone who surrenders. Dead israeli soldiers were found with ears cut off, or their genitals cut off and put in their mouths). Not nice people. Egypt said last year that if other arab countries would give them 100 billion dollars they'd attack israel again. Syria has been provoking Israel through Hizbollah for years. And Iran is building nuclear reactors. They said awhile ago that even if Israel were to hit back, that since Iran is a bigger country they could destroy israel anyway. That is probably just talk, but it illustrates the reality of the region; Israel is defending itself, while all the other countries want to destroy it. Israel doesn't have nukes for the sake of attacking, they are for defense. The arab dictators who have WMD in the region (like Saddam did) are nuts and loose cannons. Strong weapons strengthen countries... who do we want to be stronger? Dictators and nutcases, or a democracy (that's 20% arab btw) that is the only country in the whole middle east that has a real economy, is a democracy, and protects the holy sites of all religions, has a free press, etc. It's stupid to support the arabs over Israel.
