The best Saddam could hope for is mutual deterrence (our nuclear vs. his biological weapons).

That is all that I am suggesting. You talk about it as if it was a trivial thing. I don't think the Soviets considered it a trivial thing. Soviet nuclear parity with the United States shaped world affairs for forty years.

Oh, no, it's not a trivial thing, and I didn't mean to imply that. You said that "we are f***ed," and I interpreted that to mean that our position was lost. It's bad, it's just not lost. I think we're in agreement. There are difficult times ahead.
