Actually, I never feared Saddam Hussein would launch a nuclear strike on the U.S. if he had nukes; he was far more likely to use it against Israel. However, what DID concern me about Saddam Hussein was his potential for unleashing BIOLOGICAL or CHEMICAL weapons against the U.S., as those weapons are far easier to conceal than nukes, and we KNOW he had them and had used them in the past. To me, the nuke issue was almost a non-issue, and I paid it very little heed (on the other hand, I am VERY concerned that N. Korea may sell a nuke to an anti-American group).

That would be my concern too, but we seem to be ignoring that threat and instead chasing after will o the wisps.
