Hi Prince_James,
You are correct in saying that, "No Middle Eastern power has nukes that can blow the world to smitherines."
But oil thirsty countries have these nukes you know, such as China who is friendly to Iran. Pakistan, Russia, Europe, India, Israel, and USA have nuclear weapons. Oh! what about North Korea and Iran? Also terrorist organizations will have nukes soon, such as suicide bombers.
Religion? > The Islamic World wants the Jews/Israel out of Middle East. Is Israel and USA going to let the The Islamic World achieve their goals.
Even only ONE modern nuke exploded in the Middle East, would cause a chain reaction that MAD will win if not stopped. The human population would panic including world leaders which will cause caos and a globle financial collaspe. Then what? Just look on brightside then MAD will not win.
If only Americans would have looked on the bright side, 911 would not have happened, right!?
