You've been a member of DFI long enough for this to not be surprising.

Also, you could have used a better title if you wanted to avoid theological debate.
I was not surprised, I regretted it. And if a thread about a military vehicle can be turned into a debate on pacifism, how the hell will the choice of title help? No, the answer is self-discipline on the part of posters IMHO.

Articles: Here Comes Obama's 3 AM Phone Call

[The Obama] administration has chosen its Secretary of Defense to publicly leak the most closely guarded secret of Israel's back-against-the-wall defense against Iranian nuclear weapons.

Such public leaks amount to near treason in time of war. Imagine if someone leaked General Eisenhower's plans for the D-Day invasion in June of 1944. FDR would have fired them instantly, or if they were foreigners he would have felt justified to have them killed. Hundreds of thousands of American and Allied lives were at stake on D Day. In Israel today, hundreds of thousands of Jewish lives are at stake. Don't expect countries fighting for their national survival to act any differently.

Considering an Israeli strike on Iran could have much wider repercussions in the region, including on US forces deployed there, the US too must make decisions to safeguard its own national interests. Just another example of the one way relationship Israel expects from the US.

If Israel truly wanted to avoid nuclear war in the region, it shouldn't have pursued Nuclear weapons to start off with.

It is stupid to expect your rivals to sit back and not respond while you develop nuclear weapons.

Israeli hypocrisy.

In the Christian Bible, "sin is lawlessness" (1John 3:4), and so in Western Christianity, salvation tends to be understood in legal terms. Sin alienates the sinner from God. It has damaged, and completely severed, the relationship of humanity to God. That relationship can only be restored through repentance unto Christ and acceptance of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross as a sacrifice for mankind's sin. According to some interpreters, Jesus Christ states in Matthew 22:35-40 what "Christian Law" is:

"Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." -KJV

In Eastern Christianity, sin is viewed in terms of its effects on relationships, both among people and between people and God. Sin is seen as the refusal to follow God's plan, and the desire to be "like God" (Genesis 3:5) and thus in direct opposition to God's desires (see the account of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis). To sin is to want control of one's destiny in opposition to the will of God.

In the Russian variant of Eastern Christianity, sin sometimes is regarded as any mistake made by people in their life. From this point of view every person is sinful because every person makes mistakes during their life. When a person accuses others of sins they always must remember that they are also sinners and so they must have mercy for others remembering that God is also merciful to them and to all of humanity.
Thanks for clarifying Brigadier.

Look at the map of the region and the relative size of the populations of Jews and Arabs, and the history of Arab hostility and aggression.

Was India "hypocritical" to acquire nuclear weapons?

Jordan is Palestine.

If Arabs or Iran had a nuclear weapon and there was no USA, they would have dropped it on Israel as soon as they lost the 6day war, just like US droped it on Japan. The existence of US is a detrance for others not to get nukes.
