>> Israel has a government, and it's not run by the whackos

Is there a reason to believe this will always be the case? Can you for example guarantee that if somehow a crazy guy blows a dirty bomb in Israel, one or two Israelis with their fingers on the nukes will not go insane and just nuke as many of Muslims as they can get? I bet they will be less likely to take their hypothetical vengeance on counties with enough firepower to get back at Israel.

>> One bullet, and the ISI could take over Pakistan. What about then?

Which is precisely why solutions to the world problems should not rest on military might but on civil solutions. The more one side feel strong enough not to need walk the slow path of diplomatic solutions, the more likely we are to have wars and hatred.
