Now that America have apparently found evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, I thought I'd do this poll. I reckon everyone will vote no, but I just want to see what you all say.
Oh, well, the magic number is actually 150km (and the missile in question flew 183km in a test run). I don't know why that's the limit. The distance to Israel is a bit more than twice that limit, so maybe that had something to do with it.Originally posted by junior
(Personally, I'm not certain why 93 miles is the magic number on missile ranges. Anyone care to fill me in? Otherwise, I'm not overly concerned about a missile that can go 20 miles further.)

In the real world, the closest either side had to a doomsday device was the simple fact that even in the case of an all-out attack, they'd have enough time before impact to launch an all-out counter-attack.

Supposedly, they either did not trust the Chinese at one point, or just weren't sure of their intentions.

At one point? Go read about the Sino-Soviet Split... They really didn't get along too well for a while.
