The US only wanted the bomb to kick the **** out of the Japanese, and
to intimidate the Russians. In the eyes of many in the region, Israel
has been a constant and violently active military threat since it was
created. I don't approve of the use of nuclear weapons, but it does
seem like the only way to be rid of Israel, and thus to the Arabs, a
last resort. The alternative is to live under the threat of Israeli
agression for all eternity.

Aw c'mon. How about actually addressing the points he made here.

If you do not agree with that statement, or do agreee with it, then say
so. Don't waffle on with irrelevancy about the US flattening Japan

And,

But Israel's neighbors

If you do not agree with that statement, or do agreee with it, then say
so. Don't weasel out with "the alternative blah blah blah". Is there not
enough evidence for you that some Arabs have stated the intention of
eliminating Israel?
