CarolC,

"Are you saying, beardedbruce, that Hezbollah has stated an intention to use nuclear weapons against Israel?"

* I * am saying that Hezbollah has stated it's intent to destroy Israel, and HAS used WMD ( specifically, prohibited-by-Geneva Convention area mass bombardment rockets against civilian populations) against Israel in the past. IF they had nuclear weapons, they WOULD use them- I see far more evidence of that than that the US would be the first to use nuclear weapons, as YOU have claimed with NO factual support.


"Would you say that the government of Israel would not agree with your use of nuclear blackmail on their behalf? "

I do not know what the Israeli government would agree with, or not: I stated my opinion as to the most likely reaction.
YOU seem to have total approval of nuclear blackmail BY Iran against the rest of the world, in violation of the UN: WOULD YOU say that the government of Iran would not agree with your use of nuclear blackmail on their behalf???????????
