I wonder if GB has thought in advance about this...
War is not like checkers, it is like chess. You have to plan 10 moves in advance. And if he took a moment to consider what his actions would look like to other third world countries perhaps he would have thought about it more carefully. The image he portrays is that 'if America doesn't like our government, they'll come and hammer us.' 'But how do we defend ourselves, President Mugabe?' (to name just one such person) 'Why, but developing or buying nuclear weapons, of course!!' And then the next time USA invades they're gonna have to use nukes themselves to take out the third world countries nukes.
It should be written in the laws of democracy that to declare war you must have a referendum of your people. (Trouble is, who would police this? The UN? USA???)
