containment was indisputably breaking down.

Seems to me it had worked splendidly.

What exactly do you think would have happened if Saddam were in place now armed with a few nukes he obtained from N. Korea, Pakistan, or wherever?

Nothing would have happened. Saddam wanted to survive more than anything, and Iraq would have been obliterated if Saddam had used a nuke. The sole use of nukes has been to deter attacks, not to make them.
