Not sure why you're framing iraq and nuclear as either/or. The US is energy independent. The Iraq war was not necessary to secure our oil needs. There's no reason to believe we would've built more nuclear had it not happened.

- HDThoreaun 3y agoObviously it was a pointless war. That doesn't mean that if it didn't happen we'd spend all the money that went to it on nuclear. If we spent a trillion more on renewables we'd be far further ahead than if that money went to nuclear.
