Which means Israel has developed a contingency plan. IMHO the contingency plan would include the use of tactical nuclear weapons on Iraq and, if necessary, any other Arab nation that feels the need to attack Israel. The war on terrorism may be coming to a swift and sudden end.
No, I don't think so. Just think for a minute (an Atlas of the Middle East open in front of you may be helpful). Which country currently involved in conflict (I exclude the Emirates) has the LEAST land area, and the MOST densely concentrated population? Which country could be eliminated utterly with the smallest number of nuclear weapons?
Now, here is the tough question: if Israel actually used nuclear weapons on any of it's neighbors, how long could it survive?
The answer is: a few days at the very most.
Nuclear weapons are a DETERRENT- if they are used, the game is over for Israel.
