how do you guys feel about an arms race in the middle east?

this is beginning to scare the hell out of me, i can foresee this is step 1 of a big problem in the future. if weapons become prevalent in that unstable region, one groop or another will be clamoring to be the first ones to nuke the US, especially now



Two years ago, the leaders of Saudi Arabia told international atomic regulators that they could foresee no need for the kingdom to develop nuclear power. Today, they are scrambling to hire atomic contractors, buy nuclear hardware and build support for a regional system of reactors.

The Middle East states say they only want atomic power. Some probably do. But United States government and private analysts say they believe that the rush of activity is also intended to counter the threat of a nuclear Iran.
