    DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — An influential member of the Saudi royal family is warning if the Middle East does not become a nuclear weapon-free zone, a nuclear arms race is inevitable and could possibly include Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and even Turkey.

    Prince Turki Al Faisal said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that the zone is a better way of dealing with Iran's nuclear enrichment program.

    The former Saudi intelligence chief said the five permanent U.N. Security Council members should guarantee a nuclear security umbrella for Mideast countries that join a nuclear-free zone — and impose military sanctions against countries seen to be developing such weapons.

    That could put Israel under sanctions if it doesn't come clean on its suspected arsenal.

      Considering how the Saudis and other Middle East nation have gotten Israel declared not part of the Middle East, this ides works for me.

      They want it to be a nuclear free zone. LOL, what a joke. What are the chances Isreal is going to give up their nuclear weapons?

      Just think if we had our own oil the mid-east would just be irrelevant and they all would be living in tents.
      • DeerWrangler 4 mths ago
        We do have our own oil and we EXPORT IT to the extent that it is now our largest export. May sound off the wall but thats facts!!!

      History will prove that the creation of israel was the world's biggest blunder of the 20th century.

        So true.

        And I thought it was the creation of "pet rocks".
      • Ed 4 mths ago
        I think the big 4 from WW2 already know that, it's just too late to do anything about it. That was, at least in our minds, supposed to be a friendly take over. Of course it wasn't our land that was being taken over.

      Tired of this #$%$ over there, Give em ALL Nukes (Short Range only), with in 4 weeks some crazy arsed Middle Eastern country will use one one their neighbor and that country will solve the Peace process we all want.....since there will be no more Middle East LEFT after they all bomb each other, Problem solved.
      • ScottH 4 mths ago
        yeah thats brilliant. So what you gonna say when a cargo ship sails into a major US coastal city and detonates? Missiles aren't the only way to deliver a nuclear weapon you know.
      • Ray 4 mths ago
        He'll say " Silence you keeled me"...... lol

        Even if the Middle East nukes itself out of existence, there's a chance for nuclear winter and nuclear fallout plauging the rest of the world.
    • JUSTICE  •  4 mths ago
      Time to end our double standard in the Middle East -- Israel must give up its nucs to get Iran to disarm. Sounds fair to me. It's time for us to stop letting Israel hide behind our skirts!
    • g  •  Hartwell, Georgia  •  4 mths ago
      finally.... a common sense solution
      • Joshua 4 mths ago
        Is this the first time the Middle East has done something rational and sane?
      • g 4 mths ago
        lol! no joshua... thats not what i meant

      We are getting very close to Armageddon. Does anyone know why they call Holocaust a holocaust? It was Jews who got sacrifice by pop. Pop had helped Hitler including some other countries, I won't mention here. Now it is second time they will be ripped a part including Muslims. It is about that time again. I hope and wish to be wrong. Poor Jews and Muslims are going to loose again a lot.

      double standard anyone? Israel=okay to have nukes anyone else=not okay to have nukes
      • Joshua 4 mths ago
        Based on popular opinions, Isreal is more sane and Western when compared to other Middle Eastern countries.
      • bl 4 mths ago
        joshua that is waht you think! You should go and read Animal Farm by George Orwell.
        UK, US and Israel are the problem, no wonder the world is unsafe

        It may seem sad, Gary, but the likelihood of nuclear confrontation ratchets up with wholesale availability. No nukes? Virtually no chance some cretin like the ruler in Iran smokes a little hashish and then decides to smoke Israel!
    • the little guy  •  Elmo, Utah  •  4 mths ago
      Let them work it out. The forclosed on and forced to sell without a job say get out of others business.

      This is beyond me. 911 was direct saudi work as indicated by USA media but muslims from other countries are suffering from it. No one questions this USA relationship with #$%$ saudies. Does anyone else smell #$%$
    • Ron  •  West Palm Beach, Florida  •  4 mths ago
      No one can give that guarantee since Israel is already a nuclear power, uncontrolled. Besides, Saudi Arabia should be a nuclear country, since they are #1 in terrorists.
    • Sam V  •  4 mths ago
      The race will be on. Israel won't give up their nukes and the other nations around them are going to try to equal the playing field. Can't blame either a bit.
    • W  •  4 mths ago
      Sounds nice in thory, however it will never happen. Iran will continue untill she has the bomb.
    • Orland  •  Chico, California  •  4 mths ago
      The people that seek such an ambition like this , Is not taking care of their own people, such as food , and infrastructure,Iran has a contamination problem now and is hiding it from the IAEA and the world.
    • gary  •  Sunnyvale, California  •  4 mths ago
      Its sad but the only way to garuntee that your nation will not be attacked is to have nuclear weapons. Truth is, everybody should have some. Guess what, lasers from space are next.

      I wonder if Mr Iran ever thinks of retirement like a normal person. Point number 2. We dont need to worry about Isreal, Gods on there side. If your religious, it is already written. See the problem is , something else that is already written. A massive devastating explosion in the new world , which is us. The middle east is racing to bring it into play. Im not a bible person its just after all the religion stuff ging around i thought i should read it for myself.
