Balance in the Mideast , Star Ledger, October 8, 2004 Your editorial "Running short on options" (Sept. 28) rightly exposed the risk of Iran's continuing development of nuclear technology and the danger it poses to the global community in general and to the Middle East in particular. However, you failed to tell the other side of the story. It's Israel's refusal to allow the U.N. inspectors. While there is speculation about the possibility of Iran seeking to enhance its nuclear power, the facts suggest that Israel's stockpile of chemical weapons, nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction is enormous. If we were to "disarm" the hostility, we should disarm all feuding parties and then proceed with balance. A lack of balance and objectivity in a peace process and biased policies towards different groups may have derogatory results that we are presently paying for in more than one way. Hesham Mahmoud, Rutherford |
