We make these weapons because nobody can stop us from making them. Saddam wants 'em because once he gets 'em, people can start listening to him.
Having The Bomb is just like having an ace in your sleeve - nobody's going to attack you. India and Pakistan have 'em, so we can't boss them around anymore. Iran is working on their nuke program so we won't be able to boss them around. North Korea has The Bomb, so we can't do anything to them.
Speaking of which,
N. Korea Warns of [Nuclear] Disaster if Attacked
This goes back to my entire imperialism comment - back in the days, we COULD go around bossing country's around cause there was nothing they could do about it. Now we can only boss around people who don't have The Bomb, or whose allies don't have The Bomb. I think that's not realized yet.
To finish, I want to link you to this cartoon again:
Gulf War 2 (aka World War 2.5)
