HAMAS NO MAS
SPLAT ARAFAT. I love it!
Postscript to what I wrote earlier (not directed at you):
The purpose of having nuclear weapons is deterrence, which means ideally they are never used.
Ideally. But if and when their use is inevitable they can and will be used.
If. And when.

Yes, as PhilDragoo so eloquently writes, this seems to be a modest proposal. It has great pecekeeeping potential. Kin Jong Il will be paying close attention. The world will be a safer place for 50 or 100 years. After all, the Japanese have been pussycats since August 12, 1945. Those atom bomds, primitive as they were compared to the small, neat ones Israel has these days, were effective and saved probably 200,000 American lives.
There's no point in having nukes if you're too terrified to use them. There are not only for deterrence. They're for winning. And the first war that Israel loses will be her last. So, don't wait, don't hesitate, nuke Riyadh, Damascus, Tehran. You'll be doing the world a favor.

But, if their use is inevitable, and they are not used, then their purpose(deterrence) is lost....and their holder as well.
