(Washington Post) Richard Cohen - The invocation of the term "double standard'' is often applied where Israel is concerned. Israel is presumed to have a nuclear arsenal. Why should the U.S. look the other way at Israel's bomb and go nuts over Iran's effort to get one? The answer ought to be clear: Because Israel has not threatened to blow Iran off the map, because it is vastly outnumbered in a tough, belligerent neighborhood, and because it is a lone democracy in a region run mostly by thugs. The Israeli bomb threatens nobody. An Iranian bomb does. India has transferred its nuclear technology to no one. Pakistan has. No one worries about India or Israel making the technology available to terrorists. Everyone worries about Iran doing that. To apply a single standard to both friend and enemy may be fair - but it is singularly stupid. 2006-03-08 00:00:00Full Article
