Teacher's pet

Syria has just put forward a draft proposal for the United Nations that all countries in the Middle East should get rid of Weapons of Mass Destruction, if they possess any. However, the United States has rushed to condemn the initiative and torpedo it before it reaches the U.N., with the excuse that the timing is not right and that the action is politically motivated.

The obvious party the U.S. is trying to protect is Israel with its WMD arsenal. The question of course is, On what basis are the standards of the U.S. now different ?
