And yet Egypt and Syria did just that--they attacked Israel in 1973 (Israel had the bomb by the late '60s, possibly even at the time of the Six-Day war but certainly by the time of the Yom Kippur war). One should never count on one's enemies being in their right minds (especially, I think, in the middle east). :/
Also, I do not think Israel will be the only nuclear power in the region for too much longer (and if 'the region' includes Pakistan they already aren't).
