In keeping with the titled theme...
If the Arabs got rid of their weapons, there'd be no more war.
If the Israelis got rid of their weapons, there'd be no more Israel.
As such, we KNOW what will happen if Israel ever truly loses...of course, there will also likely be a lot of mushroom clouds showing up over Arab cities, random cube-shaped black rocks and certain very large dams in Egypt, but that's another discussion.
I can't understand why so many seemingly intelligient people can't see that our focus on 'world opinion' is seen a a sign of weakness. Wars now are won or lost in the media, not the battlefield. I'm suprised that Israel seems to have adopted this view.
