Augie, I have another question. Let's suppose that China gets really worried about our intentions. If I was running the show in China and felt I had no choice I would send couriers with a few hundred megatons of suitcase style devices and when in place order the detonation of said devices. As the remnants screamed I would offer sympathy and assistance and say that we will take care of that nasty Saddam for you. Consequences can be far worse than what one is attempting to address.
