Hell, people all over the world doubt that Iraq is a threat.
So again, you would take your above statement, and not believe your own Government. ???? Or are you a US citizen??? Canadian???

Whatever works for you Carl. And BTW....This did work, didn't it? The real problem today is that there are hundreds of these "mutually assured destruction" weapons missing from the old USSR. Wonder how many have found their way into Iraq....and then the rest...where are they?

Re: "Do you suppose that each the US and the USSR held each other at bay with mutual weapon systems?"

If by "mutual weapon systems" you mean "mutually assured destruction", then I'd say that it's not that simple. Neither side had sufficient conventional forces to defeat the other. So why start even a conventional war that would very likely end up as a bloody stalemate, perhaps leaving China to pick up the pieces.
