Saddam remaining in power with no sanctions and plenty of money would have had no more need to bluff. He could have gone shopping. AQ Khan would have gladly done business with him. Like Saddam said, in one of his more rational moments, his big mistake was in not waiting until he had nukes before he invaded Kuwait.

Or do you love wars so much you can't imagine why someone might think it better not to have one than to have one?


You're pretty damn good in the smear department yourself. Lots of people wanted to go to war in 1938, not because they "loved wars" but because the alternative was worse. The "peace-loving" crowd won that argument, and 10s of millions died who would likely have lived because of it.
