It'll never happen thanks to a little known policy agreed on by Israel and the Us, called the Nuclear Ambiguity programe.
This same programe ensures inspectors are kept out of Israel's nuclear plants and "Israel's nuclear ambiguity lets it skirt US laws against supporting countries that proliferate non-conventional weapons, and thus it receives $2.8 billion in annual aid from Washington. " Full story here http://www.serve.com/vanunu/nukes/20031103reuters.html

Aint double standards great

Couldn't help but laugh at this:

Such theories sit well with Israeli journalists like Michael Karpin, whose "A Bomb in the Basement" enjoyed unprecedented access to the nation's atomic architects and privileged files. He attributed this to the fact the film was made shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States: "It seems Israel, fearing a new and yet- unknown global terror threat, decided it was time to reveal more of its own threats."

Roughly translated as, "Israel, knowing full well it was now pulling the American puppet's strings, decided it no longer needed to be so secretive of its own nukes because America was off to fight israel's wars for them."

What's funny is no one even thinks of questioning the US in their role as the worlds police man. They just decided this. I am sure that it costs them a lot of money, and gets them a lot of grief. Being a cop is never easy.

But, there just seems to be nothing in the world policing the police. Bush is clearly barking mad. Where do you go from here? How do things get better again?

It'll end in tears....

Would this help Bush

[/quote]yeah, I noticed your location AFTER I posted that. About dropping the bomb, the end has to come sometime......and it will..........[/quote]

Thats a bit of an odd attitude?
"We will die, so why not die now?"

The end will come, but we don't have to help it on the way.

I'm not to keen on ANY country having nuclear weapons.

So we have one country who is "barking mad" and might fire off a nuclear weapon and kill lots and lots of people, because they are all messed up because of their religion and their leader.. (yeah, you guess what country im talking about now, because it's not that clear if you look at it like this!)

Unfortunatly nobody wants to lay down their arms (well, i bet the actual people wants to, but none of the leading prats).
I hope Tony don't go stumbling in to this one: "sure, why not?"
