Giuliani Proposes NATO Expansion

Giuliani announced his hope of expanding the NATO alliance during his London visit Wednesday. He believes that Israel would be more than "willing to help us in the effort against terrorism." This trip to London was a way to raise money for his campaign, as well as to gain the support of the Republican faithful. Giuliani did not focus solely on incorporating Israel in NATO, he also listed Japan, Australia, and India as nations that meet the "basic standards of good governance, military readiness." The expansion of NATO is just one of four essential elements, that Giuliani believe will aid in the struggle against terrorism. However, with the tensions that exist in the Middle East already, will including Israel in NATO help the U.S., or just endanger any chance for peace in the Middle East?
