Now Saddam?? Give him a nuclear weapon and see how he makes Kim Jong Il look like a dope-smokin' peacenik. What are you smoking that you advocate giving Saddam a nuclear weapon? Now that Iraq is a starving, broken country with one million people having died as a direct result of the first Gulf war (including 500,000 children) you want to demonize it to garner support for a new massacre which may cause additional 500,000 casualties (UN estimates). Iraq's GDP is only $10 billion compared to $10,000 billion of the USA. It can barely survive let alone develop nuclear weapons. To reach our hyperpower status as a military, we have spent $16 trillion on the military since WWII. Iraq simply does not have the resources to develop nuclear weapons even if the rest of the world would let them. As for your credibility, I would like to point out a statement that you posted on this thread yesterday 9/11 showed us that 19 guys with about $500,000 for flight school and some plane tickets could cause $100 Trillion in economic damage, all by infiltrating our open society and using its technology against us.... The total damage of the 9/11 disaster is estimated to be around $50 billion ($0.050 trillion). The WTC buildings were only insured for $3.5 billion. So you were off by at least a factor of 1000. Or by 100,000% if you like big numbers. Given your tendency to exaggerate, why should we subscribe to your paranoia of Saddam? More importantly, should you? All we have to fear is fear itself.
