John -
I will not write what initially came to my mind when I read your post.  It
might be misunderstood! :-)

So, let me state that there are several reasons why a country might arm
itself.  These include:
1. To act as a deterrent.  In this case, the fact that they have them is
made known publicly.  This is the case for the US.
2. To use as a bargaining chip.  In this case the fact that they have them
is made known publicly.  This is the case for North Korea.
3. To use to perpetrate a blind attack on someone.  In this case, the fact
that they have them is hidden.  This is the case for Saddam/Iraq.

Your three important questions fail to take this into account.  We live in a
dangerous world, one where Satan would love for us to roll over and play
dead.  We must walk a fine line, which I believe we have done reasonably
well over the last 60+ years.

It is not hypocrisy to take out Saddam.  We are not taking him out because
he has WOMM.  We are taking him out because he has and will use them against
others in acts of blatant aggression, for Saddam's personal gain.

Jon
