Israel, Iran and the Nuclear Challenge

Published: August 16, 2012

To the Editor:

Your editorial states with impeccable logic: “If Iran gets a weapon, other countries in the region may want one, too.” The New York Times should apply that logic to Israel and state the obvious: Since Israel has nuclear weapons, other countries in the region want them, too.
