Since we're talking hypothetically, take a look at this link:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/sfeature/mapablast.html

You enter an address, choose the type of warhead, it generates a map showing what damage would happen at varying distances from "ground zero."

You enter an address, choose the type of warhead, it generates a map showing what damage would happen at varying distances from "ground zero."

*NOTE*, however, that the only choices you get on that site are for *FUSION* (i.e. "hyrogen") bombs, *NOT* the much smaller *FISSION* (i.e. "atom") bombs that Iraq might possibly be able to build.

Absolutely no one is crediting Iraq with being anywhere near the ultra-high-tech level of being able to produce a hydrogen bomb.

Correspondingly, the smallest choice at the "mapablast" site represents explosions at *least* twenty times larger, more like 100 times larger, than anything that Saddam might be able to put together.
