Swell, now Isra'El can dismantle their weapons of mass destruction, or is there a new reason?

So...if America and Europe spread nukes to Isra'El, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Jordan cannot in kind defend themselves?

Now the nukes protect them from chemical, biological or nuclear attack

Methinks whatever happens, no country is dumb enough to nuke a neighbouring country, and I doubt if Israel is an exception. Nuclear fallout, radioactive rain, and all that, you know. Conventional weapons are far more intelligent when you are fighting your neighbour.

Not that I intend to go into the whole "Isra'El" debate, but I would be interested to hear why you feel it is OK for one country to be armed with nuclear weapons to protect itself against future threats, and not the others.
