Well put Dragonlich. I had taken some time out of my life to educate myself about the Saddam regime long before even 9/11. Zeld, you are making too many assumptions.
And the did not "kick Iran's ass" nor did we aid them. We sold both sides weapons, but so did just about everyone else. The Iran-Iraq conflict was long and bloody, an estimated million people died. And they did destablize the region. If you are so naive to believe that an eight year long war wouldn't have that effect, then you are seriously deluded.
I've been screaming this from the first time I posted, but I'll post it again, since you learn thru repetition: My point is that THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. YOU CAN NOT HANDLE THEM IN THE SAME WAY. I can't say I care for the glib attitude of "Oh well, you invaded Iraq, why don't you invade North Korea too, since that's what you like." Dubya might not be the brightest bulb, but he isn't that dim. I've listed numerous reasons why war with North Korea would be bad. However, no one seems to address the points I made, and keep going back to the Iraq issue, even thou it has NOTHING to do with North Korea, outside of the fact that we are already over-extended into Iraq and Afghanistan and cannot pursue another war in a seperate part of the globe.
But since all people like to do is gripe and bitch about things that are irreversible and scream "I TOLD YOU SO," there won't be a rational disscusion about the North Korea problem.
