Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak insisted today that his government will not consider signing any treaty calling for a nuclear-free Middle East because of the “unruly” nature of the Muslim nations in the region.
[url=http://wire.antiwar.com/2009/09/17/israel-says-mideast-not-ready-for-nuclear-arms-ban/]“Until the Muslim world from Marakesh (Morocco) to Bangladesh behaves like Western Europe, there can be no debate on nuclear disarmament,” Barak declared in an editorial published by Yedioth Ahronoth.
Israel is actually the only country in the Middle East which possesses a nuclear arsenal, though it only occasionally admits that this is the case. The nation launched a 1981 attack on Iraq over suspicions it might be attempting to acquire a nuclear weapon. It has already repeatedly threatened to attack Iran over its civilian nuclear program. [i] [ Hermit : Which is of course a breach of the Charter of the UN and should have been referred to the Security Council for action - only Israel's puppet, the US, has done the same and is certain to block any action against Israel in the Security Council, leaving the UN totally ineffective to deal with this massive destabilizing force. And still has the chutzpah to refer to Iran, which has no nuclear weaponms, the means to deliver them and where there is not even any credible evidence that it has now or has had in the past a nuclear weapons program according to the IAEA ]
The IAEA assembly voted 100-1 today to support a nuclear free Middle East, with only Israel voting against the draft. The United States abstained though it insists that it supports the idea.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999
