You must be kidding yourself.... apart from the well established fact that there are countless missing suicase nukes missing from soviet inventory, you really think the arab nations dont possess nukes? They're hardly gonna advertise the fact and risk coming under inspections threat from the US....
Sheesh the nuclear bomb was invented around 50 years ago. The kind of weapons that we know about today are hundreds of times more powerful let alone the ones that are being developed in secret.
Once Russia realises that the arab nations can solve their economic woes, we lose them and the threat increases. I say don't attack Iraq - just be highly defensive. At the end of the day we would never be a first mover in a nuke strike - the US is a democratic and free nation and although I question the way in which US goes about its business in terms of unilateral actions, fundamentally it believes in peace.
