Yeah, but who decided that other countries shouldn't have them? While I understand the idea that the popular image of Saddam Hussein shouldn't have them, as he's likely to use them, I'm not so sure that the popular image is correct. It's been stated that he has them to deter other countries from attacking him, and, while that might seem paranoid, guess what? Other countries are getting ready to attack him.

I just don't know that it's ethical or moral for the US to say that other countries can't have them when it does. And while Iraq certainly has been a bully over the years, so has the US.

While your statement that we haven't used nuclear weapons in 58 years seems nice, don't forget that the US is the only country to ever use nuclear weapons in combat. And I'd like to believe that we don't use chemical weapons, but I'm not sure that's the case. I'd be inclined to say, however, that we actually haven't used biological weapons, but we sure do keep a lot of them around.
