The news today is that the Security Council in no uncertain terms has indicated that Iran is to stop its weapon program.
Iran Defiantly Rejects New U.N. DemandsOn the other hand, Israel most certainly possess a large number of weapons:
...
Tehran envoy defiantly rejected a U.N. call to reimpose a freeze on uranium enrichment.
........
The meeting follows agreement Wednesday by the 15-member Security Council to ask the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to report back in 30 days on Iran's compliance with demands to stop enriching uranium.
Israel is not a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and refuses to officially confirm or deny having a nuclear arsenal, or to having developed nuclear weapons, or even to having a nuclear weapons program.... It is believed to possess nuclear weapons by the International Atomic Energy Agency. ....According to the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Federation of American Scientists, they may possess 300-400 weapons.... (emphasis added)So, does this not pose a problem? How can we go on for years with a situation where one state in a region, with a population of 6 million (many of them Arab), can possess 300-400 nuclear weapons while another, much more populated state (Iran has a population of 68 million), is forbidden to have them.
The only answer to this quandry is to strip ALL states of nuclear weapons, starting with the midEast. Rice and her cronies have backed the World into a corner. The only alternative at this time is a War where nuclear weapons are used. I know that Cheney and Bush in their bunker salivate for this like Peter Sellers.
Sorry, Israel, the safety of the world demands it.

And how about Bush letting India off the hook?
That double-standard crap is making the world doubly angrier at the U.S., especially as it comes from a cowboy with no credibility save for the 31% of blind sheep that continue to "baa baa he's doing a fine job baa baa..."
Of course, he was unable to answer the 'armageddon question' recently. I pondered over that for quite a while.
Maybe Bush is attempting to fulfill the prophecy of his faith, like Jim Jones and Karesh did, had to do. After all, everything that comes out of his mouth is the exact opposite of what is actually occurring.
JS, At the moment, who cares what Iran does? In reality, they are a number of years away from a nuclear weapon (working on their own). Should we not worry about those such as Israel who have nuclear weapons? South Africa gave them up. They are useless in a war. Why not everybody?
