As for disliking war, Bush has demondstarted that, given a (high, according to the information available) chance that WMD would be used against the US, and given that the UN declared Saddam in violation of the "last and final" chance to come clean, he was willing to use conventional means to remove a WMD threat ( that according to the Democratic MAD philosophy would kill tens of millions) shows a dislike of nuclear war that I would like to see in a number of others.

Nuclear weapons are NOT just more powerful bombs.They have effect far greater to the environment, and to allow the use of them to become "acceptable" in conflict is not "a fair and reasoned proposition."

Yet the UN ( as shown by actions in N.Korea, Iran, et al) was prepared to do so rather than deal with the situation.
