we would respond with a complete annihilation of any place in Iraq that could conceivably harbor other nuclear weapons.

That's wild. I thought I was conservative--your thinking on this issue is remarkable. You essentially propose turning the entire country of Iraq into a parking lot should Saddam use one nuke. I have a lot of trouble in killing off millions of subjugated individuals simply to make a point.

Your solution would never be made US policy. Moreover, it doesn't deal with the economic consequences.

But to get back to my original point, I think I'm making progress with respect to raising your consciousness as to how dangerous Saddam armed with nukes would have been.

As to NKorea, well, it's not in the ME, is it? And the considerations are quite different.
