From a column by President Carter on why we should not attack Iraq:

<< In the face of intense monitoring and overwhelming American military superiority, any belligerent move by Hussein against a neighbor, even the smallest nuclear test (necessary before weapons construction) , a tangible threat to use a weapon of mass destruction, or sharing this technology with terrorist organizations would be suicidal. But it is quite possible that such weapons would be used against Israel or our forces in response to an American attack. >>

So, we don't need to attack him now because if he even tested nuclear weapons it would be suicidal for him. But if we did attack now he might use those (untested) weapons against us.

Hey, good sound logic there Jimmy! Way to go!
