Mother of All Idiots:

Russia today has absolutely NO relationship to the Soviet Union, except in the fevered and confused minds of the left wing American press, who still can't figure out why Gorbachev fell ("Gosh! Didn't he like American jazz 'n stuff?")

Saddam is perfectly capable of committing suicide. Whether he realizes what he's doing is entirely academic and irelevent.

The left wing traitorous slime on the thread and in the nation as a whole love Saddam for the same reasons they have always loved Fidel: he's an enemy of what they hate the most: America...

The whole MAD concept depended on the rationality of both parties. It's so insane it's hard to think about, but that's what the think tanks recommended and we managed to muddle through.

My evidence for Saddam's irrationality is in every minute, every hour of Desert Storm. He created it, he could have avoided it, he went ahead with it. Bush goofed by not nailing the bastard when he had a chance.

Saddam is a GAMBLER who has a history of attacking nearby countries, and of overplaying his hand (usually, with horrible results)!!! What evidence do you have, that Saddam would not use (or threaten to use) nuclear weapons - when he gets them?
