The nuclear weapons of the U.S. are a deterrent of sorts against massive attacks conducted by governments, but not against rogue attacks carried out covertly (a ship of Liberian registry slips into NY harbor and detonates an atomic bomb, provenance unknown -- a private submarine comes to within 50 miles of the U.S. coast and pops a cruise missile with atomic weapons, time from launch to detonation over D.C., 45 seconds). Israel is a small country and a very small number of nukes launched covertly, without the approval or knowledge of the nations from which the missiles are launched, could obliterate this country, which is as narrow as ten miles wide in some places (as is obvious, Lebanon is one of those countries with weak governments which cannot control actions of militants within its borders). So there is there no real deterrent effect to Israel's nuclear weapons, because you can't deter small rogue groups, only governments. Israeli nuclear sabre rattling amounts, as author Seymour Hersh suggested in the title of his book on Israel's nukes, to being the Samson option (the blinded Samson knocks down the pillars and kills everybody including himself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson ) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
