French politician calls for return to 19th century politics that lead to bloodiest century in history but with nuclear arms instead of horses
There is, however, another serious imbalance for which we are in part responsible, namely the imbalance of forces. I have no hesitation in saying that we must consider giving the Arab side a large enough force, including a large enough nuclear force, to persuade Israel that it cannot simply do whatever it wants. That is the policy my country (DF: i.e. France) pursued in the 1970s when it gave Iraq a nuclear force. We have now destroyed it. So we will carry on with our policy of imbalance and what is happening today is merely the annoying but inevitable result of our collective blindness and cowardice. -- LGF
Right, you need more nuclear bombs in the hands of military dictators to make the world a safer place. The logic is impeccable. Besides, does he really think the Pakis woulnd't lob a few nukes towards Israel if they got bored?
