Once Iraq becomes a nuclear power, the very decision to go to war against it would become a totally different ball game.

I think it's sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I'm best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But that's not how the real world works.
