Say what? Saddam makes a conventional military move, say into Kuwait, "brandishes" nuclear weapons in the process, and your response is to obliterate him? Did I understand correctly? If so, your nom de plume should be Barry Goldwater. vbg What if you don't get the nukes? What if he makes it into Kuwait before he brandishes nuclear weapons? Incidentally, he called his failure to develop nukes before he moved into Kuwait his biggest mistake of the Gulf War. Think of how different the Gulf War would have been if Saddam had nukes. Then fast forward to, say, 3 or 4 years from now, you will see how the tactical and strategic landscape changes. Do you obliterate Kuwait in the process, too? For Saddam's brandishing of nukes? If you thought we had opposition for having gone into Iraq, think of what would have happened if we obliterate Saddam for simply brandishing nukes. There are enogh holes in this line of thinking to drive trucks through.
