If Hussein is smart

[shiner]

He will STFU up for a while and ease off the inspectors. The U.S. public is going to be in no mood after today to put up with his or anyone else's antics. If we see anyone dancing in the streets after this you better bet the general public will be all for lobbing bombs, cruise missiles, etc... in their direction. A sad America is not a very tolerant America.

I think your point became moot when you started off with, "If Hussein is smart".

He obviously isn't smart or he would have developed nukes before 1991, and the US wouldn't be messing with him today.

Any country that doesn't pursue their own nuclear weapons program is not doing their job as a government. The primary responsibility of any state is to protect its people against foreign aggression and protect national sovereignty. In a world in which one country can place you on an "evil" list and pre-emptively attack and kill tens of thousands (or more) of your people, it is your responsibility to act to prevent such an occurance. The only thing that seems to provide any defense in this situation is to possess and be prepared to us nuclear weapons.

I largely agree with this statement, but I dont agree with rougue dictators having them.

Not when there is a non proliferation treaty in place.

An interesting history on the word "moot". According to a language expert on NPR radio yesterday, moot means "a point of debate" or "something worth debating", or in other words important and arguable. As people use it today, moot means irrelevant and unimportant. How did the meaning of the word change? Law schools in the 30's setup "moot courts" where students could practice their skills, though the outcomes had no legal bearing. Lawyers then began using moot to mean something that has been previously discussed and found to have no bearing (because of the results of the moot courts). Now people utilize the word moot with a meaning opposite of it's historical usage.

Now, back to the moot point about Hussein!

Which is exactly why ever single country should get them. If Americans think your a "rougue dictator" they'll be dropping bombs and perhaps using nuclear weapons on your people. Otherwise, you effectively have NO defense whatsoever. I'm opposed to Canada spending on the military, but at this point, I'm in favour of a nuclear program.

Even Bush has spoken against the treaty. Screw it. That's what NK is doing and that's what every other country ought to do (and I believe, will do) given the current reality.

Yep that's just what we want. Every country on Earth to have nuclear weapons.

A nuclear weapon is not a "defense" in the traditional sense of the word. For instance, you cannot launch one nuke to disable one launched at you (as of yet). An nuclear weapon, imo, should be thought of primarily as a offensive weapon of mass destruction with the single purpose of killing a lot of people. A lot of people think that the "best defense is a good offense", however in the case of nuclear weapons I disagree. The term defense suggests the saving of people and infrastructure, wheras if we get into a nuclear war it is certain more people will be killed than saved and most buildings and resources destroyed.
