Subject: RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea?
One question, for all those who talk about nuclear weapons and so and so nuking whoever.

Israel's nuclear programme started in 1958, a good 10 years before the Nuclear NPT was proposed by Ireland at the UN. At that time the established "nuclear" powers, i.e. those who already had nuclear weapons conducted atmospheric tests.

Of the countries that were not signatories of the Nuclear NPT first India developed its nuclear weapon and conducted an underground test, so it knows it has a bomb that works.

This was followed by Pakistan who developed its nuclear weapon and conducted an underground test, so Pakistan also knows it has a bomb that works.

Next one down the line was North Korea who withdrew from the nuclear NPT having ignored its terms and conditions and developed its nuclear weapon and conducted an underground test, so we can assume that North Korea knows it has a bomb that works.

My question to all those who talk about Israel's nuclear arsenal and what they are longing to do with it - When did Israel conduct its test of its nuclear weapon?? Its something that you cannot do in secret and in the 60's and 70's it couldn't be done just by modelling it - So when did Israel conduct the testing of its nuclear weapon??
