Here and elsewhere I have been 'Boring for Britain' on the real-politik of the current middle east spat and advising anyone daft enough to listen that it is obviously in our best interests to keep Israel armed to the teeth so that it can continue to wage war against all those Arabs who, if not thus distracted, would turn their attentions further west - or near me, as I like to think of it. Suddenly, a rather disturbing thought lit up in my mind. Israel is a nuclear power. Iran is desperately seeking to become one. Given that, would it not be a good idea to cut off arms to the Israelis so that gradually they start to lose and when they are really on the ropes and desperate I'm sure we can rely on them to 'nuke' Iran for us and probably Syria, too. Brilliant, don't you think? I'm always amazed that I never got further than corporal in my nine years with the Colours!

Of course, they hate us for what we are, not what we do...
