In any MAD scenario, Israel will always be the loser, so the only way it can win is to not let anyone else play.

Suuuure he is. He's been boasting for six years at least that as soon as "Islam" (meaning Iran) gets its hands on a nuke they intend to lob it at Tel Aviv. In the context of the Middle East "moderate" apparently means "genocidal maniac". How then would "radical" be defined? These evil clowns in NorK, Iran, and Syria are going to bring about a nuclear war if they can. Either they will be stopped first or there will be massive bloodshed. Most of that blood will be Muslim, by the way, as both Iran and Syria are turned into radioactive parking lots. This is what the diplomacy all the time crowd refuses to see. They go around holding their hands over their ears saying "La-la-la I can't hear you, it's all a neo-con plot." Stupid, short-sighted twits. I like it that Rafsanjani is seen as a moderate.

It's the only explanation I can think of for the combined factors of Olmert's mounting obsequiousness, the UN's hesitation to condemn the strike on Syria, and the rejection of any formal investigation into the incident by all parties. The DPRK engineers may well have had fully functional nuclear warheads with them, and been interrupted days, or even hours, before theyfinished mounting them on Syria's SCUDs and were ready to launch. Now the world is desperate to keep Israel from responding to what is essentially a narrowly foiled nuclear attack, and give Syria a chance to try again, and maybe even succeed, now that they know what not to do.
