Hey Saudi Arabia, Shove It
Am I the only one who gets suspicious when Arab countries give advise to Israel to the effect that disarming out be a good idea:
Saudi Arabia pointed the finger at Israel and insisted on Monday that it sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and open its nuclear facilities to international inspectors. "Israel must sign the NPT and all its nuclear facilities must be subject to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and this must be made a basic condition for any future security arrangement," the Saudi cabinet of ministers, according to a report in the Saudi English daily, Arab News.
Here's the thing about Saudi Arabia preaching to other countries about nuclear weapons: hypocrits:
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have concluded a secret agreement on nuclear cooperation, an unimpeachable source said Monday. "It will be vehemently denied by both countries," added this ranking Pakistani source known to this correspondent for more than a decade as a knowledgeable insider, "but future events will confirm that Pakistan has agreed to provide KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) with the wherewithal for a nuclear deterrent."
The difference between Saudi Arabia and Israel, of course, is that Israel isn't run by lunatics who think that death rays emit from women's hair. Israel would use the Bomb as a last resort, in the face of an existential threat. Saudi Arabia would use the Bomb if they thought it would help them impose their primitive ideology on the rest of the world.
And of course, no post on the NPT would be complete without the usual explanation for why Israel won't sign it: living as it does according to the rule of law, Israel only signs international treaties that it has the intention of keeping. So they won't sign the NPT, because they know that they can't obey it. States like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, on the other hand, have no problem signing international treaties they don't intend to follow - they just cheat.
