"When you talk about nuclear weapons and MAD, you are talking about a situation where there were 2 PLAYERS not dozens!!! Why is this so hard to grasp!"

You tell me , you're, I think, a gun hugger who thinks the more guns the safer you'll be. That's your mentality not mine....I want to see them all destroyed.... But just as every gun toter in this country wants the "old equalizer", so does every schmuck country around the globe want a nuke as its equalizer. Would the NRA deny them that?

Now if you're Saddam and are being threatened with annihilation by a super power whom you know you can't defeat what choice do you have except to capitulate and probably be executed or jailed for life, or try and obtain the "old equalizer" Put yourself in Saddam's shoes, what would you do?
