I Agree in Principle

Dr. Pipes, I agree in principle and view your analysis of Saddam's Masada-complex as most accurate. You also noted the examples of Hitler and Stalin, and I would add that Nikita Kruschev bluffed significantly when he claimed that "the Soviet Union is producing nuclear weapons like links in a sausage factory" (he really only had 8 or so). Furthermore, Saddam did have WMD and solid links to terrorism; you can find the evidence at the ISSA (International Strategic Studies Association) website.
