Nadine, If North Korea had a kuwait next door as opposed to SK, would we be so fast to go to war if they overran it in a day and threatended us with nukes or bioweapons if we intervened. Bye bye Kuwait. Now travel back to 1991 and put the bioweapons in deliverable form for iraq to be spread by terrorists or agents if necessary and add a few nukes to his arsenal. How sure can anyone be that Bush#1 would have defended Kuwait under those circumstances? I am not sure at all that if faced one day with a vial of anthrax under a park bench in washington dc with a note saying we have hundreds of these ready to deploy that an american president excecising due diligence would react.

Last I heard, Saddam was trying, and failing, to get spare parts for his obsolete ( and presumably mostly non-functional at this point ) Mig-21s from the former Yugoslavia. Aside from the endless war marketeering, I've seen no indication at all that he's likely to make any progress in the quest for nukes. Unless, of course, Pakistan does another double cross, but perhaps that possibility should be addressed at the source. Somehow, you seem to be drifting right back to the WMD marketing line.
