I was debating if I should have put the article here since I did not agree with most of what it said. But I didn't have time at then to write about the Israel's WMD issues. The best thing in the article was the MSNBC web link.

Oye veï, Jacob. I doubt you are going to have a career as an Israeli strategist.
Imagine:
Israel follows your strategy and disarms its so called "theoretical paper nukes".
Some Arab country, Libya, Somalia, Younamkhit builds (ok buys!) a couple of nukes from Ussranisthans gangsters.

What do you do ?

Negotiate the fate of Carthago?
Take a boat to America ?
