Why should the U.S. pursue a country that is striving to produce destructive weapons, when the U.S. has yet to get rid of its own nuclear weapons? We are now faced with individuals like Saddam, whose priority is to build weapons and not feed Iraq's children. What can the U.N. do to halt such endeavors by power-hungry autocrats, when the five Security Council members are the world's only declared nuclear-weapons states? MAYURA K.
