Craig, you come down hard on Israel but from what I know about the country the ruling state is democracy and free markets. What I read about the Middle East in the media is that the state laws coincide, not supercede, religious laws. Their close proximity to Israel mandates Israel to keep them back away by powerful means. Israel needs leverage over the Middle East's fanatical culture. Again, this is what I know about from U.S. media. I'm sure there are rational people living in Iraq and Iran but I am also sure they probably live in fear of discovery.

I've met a few Israeli women who have visited my city. They are extraordinarily beautiful women. There is a sense of joie de vivre in them that I don't get from American women.

Israel not only needs nukes it needs the backing of the U.S. because freedom must be won the world over.
