[QUOTE="cool5armani, post: 7656423, member: 260159"] At the same time, it is not hard understanding why some Israelis believe their country has no alternative but to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. After all, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is pretty emphatic about wanting Israel to disappear. Sure, he is not fully in charge of Iran (although he seems to have had his way in dealing with the stolen election and its aftermath). And, sure, the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini said in April that the use of nuclear weapons is strictly prohibited by Islamic law. But it should be no surprise that Israelis are less than comforted by any of this. If the guy next door talks like a maniac and owns lots of guns, you have no choice but to worry — and consider doing something about it. At the very least, you need an absolute assurance that he won't do anything crazy. Reidel makes two proposals designed to reduce Israeli fears. The first is that the United States "should take another look at extending America's nuclear umbrella" - either unilaterally or by making Israel a member of NATO. As a NATO member, Israel would have the security of knowing that an Iranian attack on it would be considered an attack on the whole alliance. His other idea is to strengthen Israel's second strike capacity by both enhancing its anti-missile defence system and providing it with F-22 stealth aircraft or "advanced cruise-missile technology or even nuclear powered submarines with missile capabilities to enhance its capacity to launch from platforms at sea." (With second strike capacity, Israel, even if devastated by an Iranian attack, would still be able to destroy Iran. Logically, then, a second strike capability deters a first strike.) Riedel believes that the sure knowledge that a strike on Israel would be suicidal would deter any attack — and any Israeli need to strike at Iran's installations first. That makes sense, except for one thing. Israeli hawks (including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu) believe, or pretend to believe, that the Iranian leadership is self-destructive. They say that they need to hit Iran because, unlike any other country in the history of mankind, Iran would happily commit suicide in exchange for the sheer joy of taking out its enemy. It's nonsense and, in my opinion, the Israelis don't even believe it (their real fear of Iran is based on Israel's determination to preserve regional hegemony, not fear of nuclear destruction).
