So what are you going to do about Israel's nuclear weapons? It would certainly be better if the number of countries with nukes was smaller = lower probability of (mis)use, but I trust that you see the level of danger form marginal violators, such as Israel, Pakistan and India, vs. the international pariahs (and certifiable nutcases) of Iran and NK. Uhhh......lets say that one of these "international pariahs" fired a few nukes at us. What do you think our response would be? I have to assume that we will fire back. Logical? I think so. What would happen if we fired back just half of our massive arsenal? Actually, what would happen to the world? Think about it. Then ask yourself the question.....do you think the fat cat leaders of the international pariah want to die, destroy their countries and the world all in one fell swoop? After all, I thought survival was one the more basic of human instincts.

Which is a good point, but I think that our eventual goal, after taking nukes out of the hands of the pariahs, should be to do the same with Israel, and then after a while, ourselves. They're really a dangerous anachronism at this point. -Z
