Mutual Assured Destruction only works as a peace-creation mechanism if neither side has people who might be willing to commit suicide in an attack on the other. If one side fears the other has people who are willing to die in an attack, its optimal `games theory' strategy is to attack first.
If you favor peace, your goal is to prevent any country that has or has supported people willing to commit suicide in their attacks from gaining nuclear, chemical, or biologial weapons.
The problem is that by following the proper game-theoretical strategy, Israel commits PR suicide.

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home.
-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
