"The Republican Party is now increasingly referred to as the Republikud Party."

That is a sentiment I am sure you heartily agree with Searle. Upon reading this article, I was a bit taken aback because I had not thought of it, the fact that Israel had never signed the nuclear proliferation treaty. For obvious reasons I suppose, and at least their intentions were telegraphed. India also did not sign that agreement and went on to develop the bomb. Not sure about Pakistan.

Just a thought, I guess Israel is too small a country to enable testing of the bomb.

The double standard about nuclear weapons and who may own them is obvious. For me, personally, I would be even more uncomfortable if a non-democratic nation, a dictatorship, without the checks and balances and appropriate debates had the bomb. Even so, a democratic country was the first and only power to use the A-bomb, and I know many people are arguing that America's democracy is being continually eroded away which is the scariest development of all.
