Nevermind that Iraq,unlike North Korea, which has had 50 years of relative peace with its neighbors,has gone to war twice with neighboring countries and has used chemical warfare on its own citizens. Nevermind that North Korea’s military is three times larger than Iraq’s. A war with North Korea will require 700,000 troops, almost three times the number being sent into Iraq. Nevermind that Seoul, South Korea, is within striking range of North Korea's missiles. The city would be a likely target should the U.S. strike North Korea. Up until quite recently, South Korea has been a supportive ally of the U.S. Considering the risk of nuclear war from taking on a nuclear power, the Bush administration has chosen to engage in diplomacy first, using China as a conduit to pressure Pyongyang into halting its program to enrich uranium for weapons.
The U.N. Security Council had given Saddam Hussein ultimatum after ultimatum, and if the Left had its way, would give him countless more before ever authorizing war. Funny how the Left is so quick to criticize Bush for not going after North Korea without so much as a peep demanding a single ultimatum against them first.
if this argument is so "yesterday" and easily refutable by your superioir right wing mind, why didnt you discuss China? They have nukes, unfriendly relations with the US (remember the spy plane, ballistic missles into sea of japan, taiwan, etc?)
And North Korea as been proliferating their weapons production systems, as has Pakistan. When do we invade Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Lybia
Or for the human rights excuse (Saddam was evil madman who tortured his people) - we are going to the Congo next, then CHina etc
PLEASE - the REASON WE ARE IN IRAQ IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE OIL IS
no other reason. Blood for oil. And you support that. Sorry but I dont subscribe to that philosphy.
like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders . . .
on edit - btw the UN sanctions and inspections were working - even David Kay said so
