OK Thrawn, this would have made sense if you hadn't deleted your post.

You were right though.

This isn't about us.  Its about the Jews, at least that is the target he use's to draw support.  He would have to deliver the thing. Israel is the closest, and most probable target. Thanks to them ignoring UN resolutions, they already have the bomb.  These two would be in much the same boat as us and the Russians back in the cold war.

the last time isreal though they were in danger from iraq (1981) they bombed iraq's atomic facilities. isreal has better inteligence in the reigon & more to lose. if saddam was near getting it isreal would be doing something about it.  i wouldn't be surprised if mossad has been sabotaging the iraqi atom bomb project since '81...those sneaky jews

I wonder if Saddam is sitting there saying....

"But we must attack the USA! Look! They already used the bomb once, they are sure to do it again!"

while GWB is saying...

"But he already used WMD against his own people and against Iran! He is sure to do it again!"


Go read the history of the real cause of WW1. It all comes down to misjudging the resolve of the other guy.

 Big diference there.  Bush never used the Bomb on anybody.  Saddam HAS killed his own people and others w/ WMD.  HUGE diference, then I can't expect that a liberal would undertand that.

Udie.  Have you ever heard of Afghanistan.  They where dropping things over there, that were referred to as a "poor mans nuke".

  The slopes to the high moral ground are slippery indeed.  I see people trying to claim that ground, on this bbs, all the time.  So far no one has made it.

  I don't care about it.  The high moral ground just makes my feet itch.  If Jr. wants to kill off some ragheads, thats fine with me.  Just leave off using ground troops.  There is no reason our boys have to die to protect Israel.  The Jews can take care of themselves.

And I wouldn't even consider the fact that a conservabrain could ever even try to generalize the concept to see the big picture.

But thats just me.

Saddam is a murderous dictator.  THAT is why he doesn't need the bomb.  The U.S. is a democratic republic.  There is a lot of difference between the two.

Besides, we developed the bomb to counter a similar atomic program underway in Nazi Germany.  If Hitler had perfected it first, would we even be concerned about it today?
