iraq is too busy with ethnic riots to go to war with anyone if they even had an army, or tanks, or ships, or nuclear missiles.
Even so, dismissing them as nothing isn't wise in my mind.
Do you seriously think we spent that nuclear arms race making missiles without also developing countermeasures against the ones the Soviets were? If Iraq tries to nuke us their missiles will be intercepted.
Of course, that's assuming that Iraq even has any nuclear missiles, that those missiles are capable of reaching the US, and that they're going to want to nuke us because we stopped being nosy pricks playing policeman.
I didn't mean that I thought that was stupid.
Dismissing them as nothing is just not smart to me.
What about Israel? What if they decide to blow apart Israel?
