Have you seen a mushroom cloud over an American city since we invaded Iraq?

Are you implying that Iraq had the means to send a nuclear warhead to the US. That is so far out of touch with reality that it is hard to believe anyone actually believes it to be true.

I'm not implying anything. I simply made a couple of statements. Not everything in the world has a one to one ratio with something else. Some things are related through several steps of connection. And some things, while not actually related at all, serve to illustrate some things that are. It's called abstract reasoning, and for some people it's a way to understand some ideas. For others it seems foolishness. I happen to like it, and use it frequently, but I have no quarrel with those who don't appreciate it. Most people who have to deal with me find it much easier on their mental health just let me live in, deal with, my own little world of abstract ideas and handle their own in a manner that makes to sense to them. I'm not trying to be difficult or challenging. Honest.
