Another tidbit every day. I'm surprised there isn't a lottery on FR for the start of Iran/Israel hostilities.

Just another reason why it's a good thing that Saddam Hussein isn't still in power.

Imagine Iran about to achieve nuclear wepon status and Saddam working on his nuclear weapons program at the same time. We'd have Syria, Iraq, and Iran to deal with.

Imagine Iran with nukes. Imagine Iraq joining the nuclear club in a few months, too. Not a pretty picture. If we had left things alone in the Middle East, we would have Syria, Iraq, and Iran to deal with. Syria and Iran are still there, but things are better than they could be otherwise.
To: Uncle Vlad
Lol Iraq was nowhere near joining the nuclear club. I bet you think the WMDs are hidden under Assad's bed, too. If anything, the Iraq War, and the discrepancy between how we treated Iraq and North Korea, jump-started Iran's decision to go for broke regarding nukes.
