If you're saying we have to maintain a foreign policy out of fear that Israel will unleash nuclear weapons and kill millions in that area and hundreds of thousands of Americans from cancer via the radiation cloud, how is that different than appeasing bin Laden? Americans don't have the right to act in their own interest because we have to fear a descent into nuclear madness from Israel? Thats a new one.

America acting to avoid the nukes flying is in its interests, at least to me. That is real politik. I also don't like genocide, mass slaughter, and forced diasporas, but that is a cultural and moral taste of mine. Yours may differ.

Oh yes, the best way to avoid nukes via Bin Laden is to kill him, his cohorts, and destroy the stuff. We seem to be making some progress on that score. Scratch him from he might get nukes and it worries us club. Others may follow. Stay tuned.
