Meanwhile, Israel currently has 400 nuclear weapons (including a "boosted" bomb up to a thousand times stronger than a regular nuclear device) and Bush has helpfully declared that the U.S. reserves the right to first use of nuclear weapons, even on non-nuclear states.
So how farfetched then is the scenario of a "Wag the Dog" U.S. invasion of Iraq, the predictable mass uprising in Egypt, Syria and elsewhere in the Arab World and a threatened Israel following Bush's lead in first strike with nuclear weapons?
How implausible is a coming Apocalypse?
One point is clear: if there ever were a time for constructive dissent, it's now. Staring down the barrel of the escalating Mid-East crisis, each of us has the responsibility to make sure our government prevents a cataclysmic disaster. The reward? It's the right thing to do.
