re: #178 Atlas Fails

But wait! We were sure, SURE, that Iraq had WMDs. Why were we so gung ho about that war? After all, couldn’t have used bio warfare on us?

My theory is that we don’t want to mess with countries we know could trigger WWIII, but if someone like Saddam waves his dick in our face long enough, hinting that he *might* have such capabilities, we decide to bring the hammer down and make an example out of them. Fine in theory, but it can cause some serious dilemmas in practice.

We knew he didn’t have nukes. Yet. There’s an unbridgeable gulf between how serious anthrax letter bombs are, and how serious Hiroshima bombs are.
