Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Does it matter to you that India has been at war with Pakistan three times in the last 60 years, and that they both have nukes, and that they are outside the NPT?

It is a lot more likely that India and Pakistan will nuke each other than that Iran will actually be able to strike Israel.

bring it up in the context of the debate.  Personally, I see a huge difference between the outright threats of Iran, and hatred to Israel.  If you don't, and want to see Iran have nuclear weapons, argue your points there.

I argue here because it is a direct response to your comment here. Feel free to quote me, with links, "in the context of the debate".

India and Pakistan do a lot of posturing, just like Iran and Israel do towards each other. Of the 4 countries...

  • which ones have not signed the NPT?
  • which ones are US allies?
  • which ones have nuclear weapons?
  • which ones have gone to war with each other?
  • which one is a military dictatorship?
