>>> you have your facts wrong.

If you believe one or more statements in my post are wrong, please cite specifically what you believe to be in error and then provide some basis for your claim.

While it is true that Israel is well armed in the region, those armaments may be of little value against a lunatic such as Ahmadinejad. You are in an uncomfortable position relying on MAD when the lunatics think nothing of self destruction in order to take our a neighbor they don't like.

Israel MUST be heavily armed if it is to have the slightest chance of defending itself in what is clearly the most difficult strategic position of any nation on Earth.
