Every country has the right of self-defense attacking other countries before they attack you is not self-defense. Building weapons to defend against countries who feel they have the right to attack you in order to make sure you remain weak is not only self defense but wise.

What if you have reliable intelligence that they enemy will launch an attack at 6 in the morning and that your only hope of survival is to hit first?

Siro, are Israeli divisions as good as US divisions? We rolled Iraq with just over two US divisions -- an a bit of airpower.

That's not the case here. The case is that based on Isreal's respect for arab sovereignty that the Isreali's will launch attacks that violate arab territory at will.
I do support the abolition of NBC weapons.

Iran, PAX, is not an Arab country. But I understand your point regardless.

This is a tough call for Israel. I wonder, though, whether the US will do the job for them.
