mg, the nukes are there all right but they aren't aimed at us.
They are aimed at Amman and Cairo, and Damascus and Baghdad and Meccah and Medina and the Arabs know it. That's why they are staying outof the fight physically. Israel has a superbe army, but how long do you think it would last if the Arab world moved against it as one. The Israelis have lived under the gun for over 50 years and they remember the Holocaust. If they go down, they will go down fighting and the last act will be to fire the missiles.
The infrastructure of the Arab States is centered around a few cities -usually the capitol. Destroy that and you destroy the government.
That was the mistake bin Laden made. He thought that by destroying the WTC -home of some of our major financial institutions- he would totally disrupt our economy and so bring down the US. After all, thats what would happen in Saudi Arabia or Iran.
As for the atrocities, we shall see what we shall see when the UN Team finishes investigating. Obviously, there have been abuses and they should be addressed but addressed on BOTH sides.
