    Saddam used chemical weapons on Iran and the U.S. helped him. Would you actually want a country like that to have nukes?

      No, I am arguing against nuclear proliferation. Especially a total psychopath like Saddam Hussein.

          I have heard accounts from people who were in the presence of Saddam Hussein. He was a special type of psychopathic. You could feel you were in the presence of someone dangerous.

            It’s like I’m talking to a character in Disco Elysium who has two preprogrammed responses and maybe a third if I forget to wear a shirt. Completely off in your own world huffing nasal spray.

              My sincerest apologies, comrade. You see, I indeed do have a sinus infection and the therapy has involved huffing Flonase.
