New Re: The Gulf War
My take. Mission was accomplished. Kuwait was liberated. Military sanctions imposed for a certain number of years.

Whoever is in power in Iraq was not part of the coalition target in the gulf war. Liberation of Kuwait from Iraq's invasion was.

And that was done. Swiftly. Crisply. In and out operation.

So all in all, I would consider it a success.

But I can't understand how a nuclear power can justify preventing other countries trying to acquire nuclear weapon capability. What makes US more justified than any other countries to own nuclear weapons? Serious question. Appreciate a reasonable answer, or your best take... :)

Same goes for antrax and other bio-/chemical capability.
New Nuclear Weapons
I agree with you 100% about nuclear weapons. As long as the US maintains nuclear weapons I don't see any justification for teh US objecting to others having them as well. However, the point about Iraq is very simple. 10 years after the Gulf War, Iraq is still a dangerous threat in the region.

Shocking, but not surprising.
