not for long, if we've got anything to do with it. We need Saudi Arabia oil, so we sell them top-of-the-range weaponry to keep them happy despite their despicable human rights record, nearly as bad as Pakistan.

That is one of the most "appealing" options on the table now since trying to stop Iran through diplomacy will fail and have failed. However, should Iran go nuclear, all that money spent to pimp up the Saudi military would be wasted.

So, the alternative is a nightmarish scenario in which other Middle East nations such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia develop nuclear weapons of their own. Egypt has already announced that they have set plans in motion regarding nuclear capability.

But I wonder if the most promient Mid-East nations having nukes will actually be a good thing? What if they all go nuclear and the concept of Mutually-Assisted-Destruction (MAD) beat some sense into their puny brains?

But terrorists getting hold of it is the most major concern.

Anyway, the Pakistanis better fix their shit soon. It is so damn dangerous to have political instability in a country that has nuclear arms. That Musharraf, if he wants to save himself, better put away his fetish for military uniforms.

That includes stop supporting Israel, which is a big reason why the Arab world despises us.

I agree fully. But like you said, oil is a critical factor and I think Israel is merely the Western excuse to stay in the Middle East right in sight of that precious oil.
