I suspect Stalin had a nuclear bomb. He was far more threatening to our security and world security, and murdered more inside and outside his country than Hussein ever will, and we were -even the US public- quite willing to nuke him if he tried to use his bomb. Cheney's arguing that the US public can't ever be trusted to defend itself

He had, he was, he did, and we were deterred. That is why the world rested on the hair-trigger of the Cold War for forty years, and central and eastern Europe were abandoned to their fates. Not the most convincing argument for repeating the arrangement on a smaller scale, even leaving Al Qaeda's potential out of the picture.
