COMMENTARY     

Charles (canada)
13th September 2006
I was perticularily appauled by the anti Israel tone in the descriptions and summery of the country's defence forces. One astonishing section on Israels nuclear capability analisys sugests the nations nuclear ambitions were due to the need, "to meet the perceived existential threat to the nascent state." I always assumed that a threal indeed becomes material once it is acted upon, thus expelling the notion that it is simply perception. A threat acted upon... such as the invasion of the UN recognized state of Israel by Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia but one day after its establishment as a nation. But perhaps that's a false assumption.
