Amman, Jordan - My favorite proverb at these times is "if your house is made of glass, don't throw stones at your neighbors." This is relevant to the issue of Iran's nuclear capability and the campaign by the U.S. and Israel against it.
The U.S. nuclear arsenal is well known, Israel's has also been revealed by one of their own scientists, Mordochai Vanunu and latest by the Prime Minister of Israel in Germany (even though it was later explained to be a slip of the tongue). The U.S. defense secretary has also stated in his confirmation testimony that Israel possesses nuclear weapons. The best way forward is to keep the entire region free of nuclear weapons, this includes not only Israel but also Pakistan and India. Otherwise if one is in a vulnerable house that is made of glass, one should be careful about criticizing (throwing stones) at others.
