Tekboy, heres my simplistic way of looking at things re WMD (whether nuclear, biological or chemical WMD) :
One has to worry if a country has the capability to produce/obtain these things IN ADDITION to their intent to deploy these things.
Way I look at this right now (time may change my views) : Israel, Cuba, India, Pakistan, China, France, UK, Russia, US all have WMD capability, but not intent to deploy them.
DPRK : wild card IMHO at this point in time.
Iraq : may have capability, and has demonstrated intention to use them.
Therefore, IMHO, Iraq is worth considering as a place to make remedies and correct the situation (either by destroying capability, or by changing intent).
