50. Please spare me with the
"It's not Israel's fault" apologies.

The Israeli arsenal holds more than enough nukes to sanitize large areas of the ME and then some.

They have never, to my understanding, aknowleged that they have any nukes.

Let's be realistic here. If somebody tried using diplomacy instead of sabre rattling then the crisis could possibly be averted.

Maybe the UN could start by checking out whether Israel has nukes and then telling them destroy some of them. (right... that will never happen.)

Maybe Israel could stop building settlements on Palestinian lands. (oh sorry, those lands are disputed.)

Maybe the UN could give assurances to Iran that they would not allow the U.S. to attack them. Maybe we could try talking an listening instead of killing. (...ahem)

...or maybe we can turn a blind eye to the whole ME and let WWIII get underway.

If Sharon DOESN'T do something, he will be being foolish.


My problem is that I believe that if Sharon does something then he will appear more than just foolish.


Did you ever read On the Beach?


Let's not help start a nuklar war there, please!
