Warshave been fought constantly since the invention ofthe A Bomb. The COld War was only Cold because the US and USSR never fired at eachother but the wars in Korea, Afghanistan, Vietnam, the Yom Kippur War were all bred from superpower relations derived from suspictions over the A Bomb.
The last thing the Middle East needs right now is a nuke, especially in an Arab state. A nuclear bomb dropped in Tel Aviv would drag the world into the biggest shit storm known to man.
As for the Isreal situation, the BBC is so pro Arba that eventhe UK Government is holding enquiries into its broadcasting over the Gaza withdrawal. Israel I feel are totally vindicated in this attack and like I mentioned earlier in another thread just because Israel seem paranoid doesn't mean that there aren't countries out there willing to drive them into the see at a moments notice. |
Perhaps I should have said wars in which superpowers used their full potential. I am well aware of the many silent wars and proxy wars that took place. However as you gathered I was meaning full overt warefare using the most destructive force possible. The nuclear diterant was enough to keep the soviet union and the USA from going to war fully with each other for the best part of half a century.
