Yes, I agree. The threat would no longer exist from Israel. It would then only leave the threat from all the remaining Nuclear powers, chief among them Russia and the US! The double standard exists when ANY nuclear power tries to strong arm ANY other State to disarm nuclearly, when it itself does not. Namaste! Jim

I don't think Pakistan's nuclear weapons have anything to do with Israel. Pakistan and India's nuclear buildup occurred during the cold war due to Hindu-Muslim mutual tension going back to the creation of Pakistan. That said though, Israel's sole possession of nuclear weapons in the middle east might help preserve Israel, but it does little for stability in the region. Iran seems to realize that if they can obtain nuclear weapons we're not going to come after them, and with them they'll be able to balance Israel's nukes.
