#1 How bout I call on ElBaradei to stop being such an incompetent arse with his head stuck in the sand? That seems fair right?

#2 Israel has previously expressed an interest in a regional disarmament conference. This would have to be attended by Israel and ALL other major powers in the region, including Saudi Arabia and Iran. Since these latter two states refuse to allow their representatives to sit in the same room with an Israeli representative, this is an unrealistic option for now.

That is the barrier to the dialogue El Baradei suggests - I do not see El Baradei coming up with a constructive means to advance that dialogue.

#4 "we operate under the assumption that Israel has nuclear arms. Israel has never denied this,"

And this doesn't apply for Iran because...?

#6 If there's a general peace agreement, sure.

I'm not holding my breath though and as critical as I am about the Greater Israel crowd it's not as though I expect anyone to slit their own throats.

#7 We will give away our nuclear arsenal on the same day the US does!
How's that as a way of saying "never"?
