I was going to mention Joel Rosenberg’s books and then I saw your post. It’s a plausible scenario just a little different than the book. Russia and the Muslim nations propose a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a nuclear free Middle East or forced disarmament. President Obama has the US abstain on the vote and it’s passed. Israel can’t comply as they know Iran and maybe other nearby nations have or can quickly get nukes but of course they say they don’t. After the deadline passes the scenario plays out similar to the first Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait only the military coalition is led by Russia against Israel.

Ed Lasky of American Thinker notes Cirincione outlines in his book, "Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons," that he favors Israel giving up its nuclear weapons to ensure Iran doesn't obtain nukes.

Preposterous attachment. Russia, China, the US, Pakistan, India etc.,they also should unilaterally disarm with this mentality. In any event no one has tied Israel's position with Iran's nuclear ambitions except the hard left, and pro-Arab/Islamic elements who are now revealing themselves in BO's cadre of advisors. God help us and Israel if they take over the Executive Branch.

"...After the deadline passes the scenario plays out similar to the first Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait only the military coalition is led by Russia against Israel. "

In fact, I remember reading a secular commentray right at the onset of the Iraq war that Bush was setting a dangerous precedent by acting unilaterally of "world opinion."

Your comment is not far from the truth of what we will see in the future.
