Isreal is in a tough spot. They are on the bubble in any nuke attack from Arab terrorists. It must be a high stress place to live. But do you think it is any more high stress than Bagdad. Bagdad might not be worrying about nukes, they don't have brain space left to worry about that with all their other worries. The prime worry in Bagdad is: Will I live through this day! Yes I feel sorry for Isrealis, and wouldn't want to exchange places with them, but I'd ten times rather change with an isreali than an Iraqi, or a palestinian or syrian or others in the region!
