Lookit, Jochen, do you see a difference between, say Hitler having nukes, and Roosevelt having nukes?

Of course there's a difference. But firstly, Saddam is no Hitler (a comparison you have made on the board which is wrong), and secondly, even a kind of Hitler could rise to power in the USA. Don't say that's impossible. Many people would have said it's impossible in Germany after 1918 (ok, there hadn't been a Hitler then but I use him as an analogy of an evil dictator leading his people to destruction).

Reminds me of the argument I have seen advanced that we cannot possibly object to Saddam having nukes because Israel has'em and it just wouldn't be fair.
