Crimson > Touching the third rail By Arnaud De Borchgrave
and DIVINE MUSHROOM CLOUD: A CALL TO WORSHIP By Karen Horst Cobb

Interesting how those two articles highlight how the US has been taken over by religious fanatics for their own ends. And I can only see it getting worse as the US economy gets worse and USrael becomes more despised and ostracised by the rest of the world. It's one thing having religious beliefs, everyone is entitled to that, but it's quite another when those beliefs are the basis of making war with those who don't share them.

Crimson, here's some blatant anti-Semitism if ever there was.

How can poor little Israel defend itself if it doesn't have at least 200 nukes?

>>Jordan king: Israel must disarm nukes

Abdullah tells Spanish paper El Pais Jordan interested in nuclear-free Middle East, says Israel must disarm its nuclear weapons. If peace is achieved, Israel will not need such arms, King states Jordanian King Abdullah said his country is interested in a nuclear-free Middle East and urged the international community to pressure Israel to dismantle its nuclear arsenal.

"If the world is demanding Iran doesn't develop nuclear weapons it should also demand that countries which possess nuclear weapons disarm," Abdullah said in an interview to Spanish newspaper El Pais. "For peace to be achieved in the region, Israel has to disarm its nuclear weapons."

"If there is peace," Abdullah added, "Israel will not need nuclear weapons. If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved, the Arab-Israeli conflict will also be resolved." The king also stated that Jordan wishes to see the region free from nuclear arms, and that "many states agree on that."

In February, the United States agreed to Egypt's demand to introduce a clause into the U.N.'s decision on nuclear energy stating that the Middle East should be a "nuclear weapons-free region," a decision which completely contradicts Israel's stance on the issue.

Egypt and other Arab states slammed the criticism directed at Iran over its nuclear program, charging that the world was at the same time turning a blind eye to Israel's nuclear project.

Israeli officials were however unworried about the February decision, and said at the time that "this will have no real impact on Israel, and in any case this is not the first time such a reference appears. The same thing happened when Libya decided to sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty." <<
