I have to admit I’m kind of torn on this one. On one hand there is no reason to attack now, apart from November elections, it’s risky as hell and could be extremely inflammatory, not to mention the question of what happens afterwards. On the other hand nukes are extremely sane and logical weapons. Once Sadam has a few the deterrence power they give him to resist a conventional attack in the future is huge. Sadam is a survivor, I don't think he has any interest in nuking the USA, one the other hand being able to tell the US to get stuffed when invading Kuwait again would be very useful.
