Saudi Arabia: Saudis Looking for Nuclear Weapons?
Yet another reason to destroy Iran's nuclear program: Saudi Arabia: Seeking Protection From a Nuclear Iran
Saudi Arabia on Feb. 2 accused the West of having a double standard on nuclear technology, under which Israel can maintain an arsenal of nuclear warheads while others in the region are prevented from doing the same. The Saudis are not really worried about Israel; rather, they are concerned about Iran's efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon, especially given the growing Persian Shiite influence in Iraq, the country that hitherto served as a buffer between Saudi Arabia and Iran. These deepening concerns could result in a Saudi-Pakistani alignment of sorts on the nuclear issues, as Islamabad has its own concerns about a nuclear Iran.[...]
This is what happens when a mad theocracy gets nuclear weapons; another mad theocracy feels threatened, and begins to look for nukes themselves.
