I would say that this is merely the strongest diplomatic stick Israel has with which to whack the heads of other nations, but then I realize we are speaking about Israel. They view themselves as if they were a cornered animal (which is some sense they are), and they are quickly showing the tendency to bite. It wasn't all that long ago that they steadfastly refused to admit that they even had nuclear weapons yet now they flaunt the knowldege? [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img]

On the other hand, we did set a precedent...so if they choose to act out of the desire to protect themselves then that is their business. However, they shouldn't use nuclear armaments. True, they may cause as many casualties by using conventional weaponry, but the psychological impact of nuclear weapons will bring far too many complications for all involved.
