MAD worked because *both* sides had huge numbers of nuclear weapons aimed at each other; AFAIK, the Arab nations do not even *have* nuclear weapons, let alone have them pointed at Israel. Hm, maybe we *should* provide them with nukes, just to make sure that Israel won't use its nuclear weapons. After all, MAD worked before so it could very well work again.
