If Israel gets the F 22, then it would be less dependent on the nuclear aspect of its defence since it will give it more confidence to face the Arabs in all combat situations. The nuclear aspect is worrisome to all including Israel's well wishers because if cornered Israel will use it. It must be remembered that Israel does not flinch or care about what others may feel.

It will also make the Arabs including the Hezbollah have second thoughts before embarking on any military or quasi military adventure.

Just my thoughts.
