#1 Isreal in not under the protocols of the IAEA. It is not a signatory of the NPT. Iran is. Iran is out of compliance.

Suck Pond water Minister Ahmad.

#2 SOD Do you think that'll stop anybody who isn't afraid of what Iran will do with the bomba besides nuking Tel Aviv?

#3 The Egyptians are only interesterd in making trouble for Israel. They could care less about Iran or it having Fissle materials.

#4 I'd expect the Egyptians to use Iranian nukes as an excuse to develop their own. Whether that's what they would really prefer is another question.

#5 Egypt doesn't have the oil revenues to finance such adventures, and Mubarak really isn't a good credit risk, what with his health and all...

#6 I'd credit Egypt with getting some eyewash for domestic purposes while voting the way Washington wants. Somehow I doubt anybody will want to bring up Israel after the Iran issue is dealt with.

#7 Egypt smells that western (US)blockade coming of Iran, and they really would like to stay in the US's good graces. Even Mubarak knows how to read tea leaves!

#8 No, I believe EGYPT does care about Iran having nukes - there is still simmering controversy in the Islamic world about which country or regions should be world Islam's SOLE CENTRE OF POWER AND INFLUENCE, i.e. INTERPRETATION. Iran having nukes basically removes Egypt and others from contention in favor of Radical Iran. ALSO REMEMBER, BESIDES HATRED OF THE SHAH, THE USA AND ISRAEL, AND WESTERN VALUES, THE AYATOLLAHS ALSO PROMOTED THE RESURGENCE OF THE OLD PERSIAN AND ISLAMIC EMPIRES, UNDER ISLAM AND IRAN, WHICH MEANS THAT ONE DAY RADICAL IRAN INTENDS TO ENGAGE IN A SCHEME OF REGIONAL CONQUEST. The UNO and America accepting a nuclearized Radical Iran vv fear of nuclear confrontation and conflict ultimately serves the empiric ambitions of the Mullahs. 9-11 > America must accept anti-sovereign, anti-American national Socialism-OWG or be destroyed; Mad Mullahs-AL Qaeda > America + world accept Radical Iran - Radical Islam- Global Caliphate, or be destroyed. Americans must choose their poison.
