Worse Than We Know?

Randall Parker runs a military and foreign policy blog called ParaPundit. I always find it useful, and Parker has been kind enough to link to my stuff–especially on the difficult topic of bringing democracy to the Muslim world. The other day, Parker had a useful post noting that Iraq may be closer to nuclear weapons than we think. Doves especially have been saying that, despite the probable existence of chemical and biological weapons, at least the inspections have Saddam’s nuclear program in check. And doves also claim that Saddam’s bomb making capability is still too far away to fear. On the contrary, we have good reason to fear, not only that Saddam is close to nukes, but even that much can be going on under the eyes of the inspectors. ParaPundit has gathered together some good material on this issue.
