Am I the only one that is getting a bit tired of hearing people say "what about Israel's WMD's"
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there are many differences between Israel and Iraq or even Syria. Like a) they are a stable democaracy, b) the have a proven track record of 'using' WMD's as a deterent only, c) they do not openly sponser Jewish terrorists in their neighbouring states, d) they have never launched a war against their neighbours for the sole purpose of destroying that nation. e) they are surrounded by states that would like to see them annialated (and have tried that several times).
I'm sure the list could go on and on.

a) They have a democracy... but democracies are not "stable" , dictatorships are stable...
Thats why i do not really believe GWB wants a democracy there.

b) i have no knowledge about if they used WMD.

c) This is your opinion. To palistine (& a lot of other) people the gouverment itself is terrorist (wrong).

d) true, but the making of the state israel was a bit different then "normal"... I don't know what would happen if Native Americans would take a part of the USA (like....texas) and that US would do nothing against it (Same as everywhere on the world for that matter)... Difficult to judge.

e) That is not the general goal anymore. Only those extremists want Israel dead... just like those extremist jews (who do nothing but read the bible all day) want all those palistine dead.
I "think" that if you ask the normal people in the region they just want peace... (Not those extremists that only get airtime, because they are more interesting to film)
