Hawk,

You are having difficulties facing reality.

What does Isra'El need nuclear weapons for? their conventional weaponry is more than adequate to annihilate the whole region.

Race-baiting?

How is that Hawk? What race are we talking about?

Spurious accusations? What spurious accusations?

As it applies to the Arabs, who are now only emerging from their own colonialism (aside from Zionist colonialism), you wish to have them immediately come to a state of democracy as it is only now practiced in the West.

A mere 30 years ago found women and minorities without true freedom to pursue academics and professional goals here in the good old US of A.

The calls of Arab backwardness could very well be pretext to reclaim that land for its oil and it strategic position in Asia. Or perhaps if they refuse to be bribed and cajoled to do what we want, we will have to make our move on them like any imperial power would have done in the past. Only problem is, they are willing to die for their rights just as other people have had to die for theirs.

With the Arabs the standards must be different in your mind.
