Does it? I'm happy to see you taking this as seriously as I've come to expect from many on your side. No doubt you are against such restraining treaties as all that Nonproliferation stuff, then. Petitioning your government to sell nuclear materials to Iraq, are you?
You're reading a lot into my comments that aren't there - I don't want to see any nation packing nuclear weapons, I was making the point that the US may possibly be being slightly hypocritical that's all.
After all I would say it seems hard to justify the use of weapons of mass destruction against a near defeated opponent, unless it was to let the Reds know what you've got up your sleeve, but I'm sure that's just me.
Plus most nations seem to be able to get nuclear weapons without the need for some one to petion the UK government to sell nuclear materials abroad.
It's interesting that you set up this conflict as US vs. Iraq. Let's me know where you stand, anyway. Luckily the Security Council (15-0) disagrees with you, and takes the problems posed by a nuclear Iraq seriously.
I do take the situation sriously, I was just making a point that I've now restated above.
The question does arise as to how much the US stirred up both Iraq and North Korea with the Axis of Evil line from Ol' Bushy Boy - whatching them take down the Afgahn government and then, in the case of North Korea, line up Iraq next is going to make them think of self defence no?
