So, are you suggesting that Iraq, 25 million people, miniscule defense spending compared to USA, no capacity to defend a WMD attack from USA, would initiate a "fight to the death" with America? Sadaam wanted to be King of the Middle East, which is hard to do in the radioactive heat of a nuclear retaliatory strike. In the end, Sadaam died anyway... but his ego was the biggest WMD in his arsenal.

No, Of course not. Saddam was that crazy though. I think if maybe he would've had more resources and still had a little power before he got caught then he would initiate an attack like that before getting caught. That's how he was, he could've cared less about the people of Iraq.
