John Hulsman and Nile Gardiner have come up with an intriguing idea, at FrontPage magazine.com, on how best to deal with the growing problem with Ahmadinejead and Iran: Let Israel join NATO.
Aside from the probability that it will shift the power away, once more, from a nuclear Iran, it could also be used as a gauge of how much the rest of the West has overcome its 1930s antisemitic attitudes. We put forth the proposal to admit them, complete with logical supporting arguments (hey, they're more qualified than several long-standing members, due to their solid democratic system, and they'd add to the alliance with their cost-sharing with a stable economy, with a strong, well-trained, well-disciplined army and a superior intelligence capability, to say the least). When we hear the opposition, we'll know how many nations have grown up since my parents were born. (I can hear the primary argument already: we would make enemies of all the Arab states who will declare jihad against them. To which we can reply: HellOOO! Did somebody not hear about the plans for a global caliphate?)
There are probably a few good reasons to opt out of inviting Israel, but in the balance, I think Hulsman and Gardiner are on to something.
