Much to Bush's disappointment, I'm sure.

I don't think there's *any* chance that Israel will use any nukes in the region. Apart from all other considerations, the nuclear fallout from bombing a nearby country would SERIOUSLY endanger Israel itself.

The same consideration IMO would prevent Iran from using nukes on Israel or anyone else in the region, even if they eventually get them.

Never mind Mutually Assured Destruction - this could be Self Assured Destruction.

My main fear concerning any nukes in the region is not so much that the leaders would use them; but that sooner or later terrorists could get hold of them.

But the main *immediate* worry is Bush et al inflaming the situation to their own purposes, and because they're nuts.
