<<I don't believe Israel has EVER threatened another country with complete annihilation.

However, I believe that several Mid-East countries, including Iran, have.>>

Reminds of gun laws in the States, an honest person can own a gun but not a violent felon.

In your feeble MIND, neocon! You sign off to all our hypocrisy, but think it was fine to illegally invade Iraq on no real evidence with no sanction from the UN. You KNOW Bush doesn't respect international law (or national law, for that matter).

Forcing Israel to open up it's nuke program would buy us ENORMOUS cred in the Arab, oil owning world. Being Israel's butt-boy buys us nothing but greif.

You allow the chimp Caesar to break treaties at will and be a law unto himself, but threaten Isreal's secret nuke program and you go all legalistic suddenly and the treaties MUST be kept! You can't really have it both ways.

Screw 'em both! Egypt and Israel are big boys, and can take of themselves. Cut them both off. A great idea to save some bucks. Israel is STILL maintaining illegal settlements in the west bank, has nukes and can take care of itself. Egypt? Who cares?
