Refer to ‘A whiff of the Islamic bomb’; Israel, the only nuclear state in West Asia, is on a rampage against its perceived enemies. The Arab world is understandably alarmed at the successes of Israel, even though diplomatic relations between Israel and some Arab countries have largely withstood volatility in the region. The Arabs need a kind of nuclear-armed security provider which they have found in Pakistan, a non-Arab nation which is gladly willing to be looked upon as the protector when it comes to nuclear deterrence. Interestingly, the West could not prevent Pakistan from going nuclear while it became furious when Iran acquired nuclear assets.
