As Ace says, hey, why not have us give up ours first, too? That’ll surely be a goodwill gesture that will persuade the Iranians to stop their program. Right? Right? I mean, surely the Iranians would follow suit.

Israel should give up its nuclear weapons to ensure Iran halts its illicit nuclear program, argues an adviser on nuclear issues to Sen. Barack Obama.

Joseph Cirincione, director of nuclear policy at the Center for American Progress, also previously dismissed reports Israel’s Sept. 6 airstrike targeted a Syrian nuclear reactor as “nonsense” and called Damascus’ nuclear program “miniscule.”

Immediately following Israel’s air raid, Cirincione listed “Israelis [who] want to thwart any dialogue between the U.S. and Syria” as among those spreading rumors Syria was constructing a nuclear facility.

Brilliant! In order to persuade a rogue, psychotic regime to give up its search for nuclear weapons, let’s have our allies the regime wishes to wipe off the map disarm first. What could possibly go wrong?
