re: #10 EPR-radar

In fairness, Saddam Hussein was playing games with the inspectors, and deliberately making it very difficult for outsiders to tell what was really going on.

More than that; Saddam also deliberately created the impression that he had WMDs, presumably for what he thought would be a deterrent.

We can however be pretty sure that had Saddam still been in power he would now be in a full scale arms race with Iran, if not everyone else.
