Ballistic missiles were the highest visibility weapon of the gulf crisis and war. Prior to hostilities, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein issued fierce threats about how he would employ such systems, if Iraq were attacked. Later, after war had broken out, Saddam used his missiles to strike at the UN coalition and to attempt to bring Israel into the war. While much of Saddam's missile strategy was unsuccessful, some of his actions hinted at the potential effectiveness of these weapons. As a result, other Middle Eastern nations have shown increased interest in acquiring more and better ballistic missiles. Ironically, a last-minute settlement of the gulf crisis would have had even more severe proliferation consequences because of the central role of ballistic missiles in Iraq's deterrence strategy. |
