"I think it's pretty ridiculous to suggest that Hezbollah would use nuclear weapons against Israel if they had them."

I think it is the height of folly to even imagine, after reading what Hezbollah has said and done in the past, that they would hesitate in using nuclear weapons on Israel if they had them.



" They're too physically close to Israel for that. They would destroy themselves in the process. "

You have no knowledge of nuclear weapons, from your comments. There are some very good USArmy manuals as to the range of destruction and radiological effects, for various kilotonnage ratings. Some of us have read them. You obviously have not.



"The fact that you can't see this, quite frankly, scares me quite a lot, since you have said that you are a 'rocket scientist' and you allude to being involved in fairly sensitive kinds of programs."

You seem to think that my not agreeoing with your assesments is a problem BECAUSE I amd knowledgable on the topic?????


"Iran is not using nuclear blackmail. They have repeatedly said that they do not intend to develop nuclear weapons, and that their nuclear program is for energy purposes."

Right. And the US has stated it will not use nuclear weapons first- but YOU have stated that they will. Do you imply that a government ( such as Iran) might actually tell a falsehood????



" They are entirely within their legal rights to have such a program according to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. "

No they are not. They have violated the NPT numerous ways, and the UN has been demanding that they cease their present programs.
