Who makes the distinction between a good atomic bomb and a bad bomb? If one is not informed, one would think that only Iran is a threat of making an atomic bomb.
Also, who makes the distinction between what country is allowed to have it or what religion? Argentina between 1963 and 1966, sold about 90 tons of yellowcake that were allegedly shipped to Israel from Argentina in secret. In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs to be ready. Israel also is not a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. If a Muslim bomb is bad, why isn’t Pakistan, a Muslim country with the bomb (1998) threatened? Why is Iran called out for perhaps having the ability to make a bomb but with Israel, no questions are ever asked?
