A simple question (or two)
Can anyone now doubt, having witnessed Israel's willingness to use both powerful and grotesque weapons in the slaughter of more than 1300 virtually defenseless Palestinians, the danger to the world posed by the 200 nuclear weapons in Israel's arsenal? Is there anything other than their fear of nuclear fallout reaching their own citizens that would prevent Israel from using its weapons in its "defense"?
And wouldn't it be nice if Barack Obama had Israel in mind when he said this today:
"With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat."
