We could hand Hussein a nuke and tie one hand behind our backs, and no Cold War would occur. In fact, considering Israel's superior intelligence, if, in fact, Iraq had a nuke, they woulda bombed and eliminated it already. And you, especially, know that. This might be accurate if only Arab politics were not such a paranoid snakepit of military and economic basket cases. Hussein might not be able to do more than annoy us, but the power he could wield on a regional scale would be another matter. Do you seriously think the current situation is stable, or if we back down from this confrontation, that we can retain the no-fly zones after he gets nukes (which he will hide more cleverly this time)?
