Arab countries have to disarm, but not Israel?

[Americanreborn]

Bush's foriegn policy (and that of many U.S. presidents including Clinton) have been that Arab countries cannot possess WMD. But Israel can. Why?

Why has all Arab countries called for a Middle Eastern Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, yet the U.S. has been opposed to this? Because Israel has the largest undeclared stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. That is why. The U.S. cannot force Israel to disarm.

If the U.S. were REALLY bent on disarming all countries in the reigion of their WMD, then Israel should have been tops on the U.S. list for invasion because it possess the MOST WMD and, unlike Iraq, has every means to deliever these weapons to a target. This is the hypocrasy that the Arabs see in U.S. foriegn policy (the main one anyhow).

Iraq had no WMD, no methods of delievering them even if they DID possess WMD.

Israel has WMD and every means on delievering them. This is what is baffling to me and makes Bush look hypocritical in my eyes.

1. Bears the question:

will Israel disarm after all the Arab nations have been conquered
and defanged by the US?

Don't bet on it...
