[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] [i]You know, I bet you'd be saying the same thing about Iraq were we attacking North Korea.[/i] No. The way I see it, we know North Korea is trying to obtain nukes. The burden of proof in North Korea is stronger than in Iraq. We have: - the banishment of UN inspectors fron NK, - the deactivation of UN monitoring equipment, - the startup of an illegal reactor that can make nuclear weapons (the abilities of Iraq are still somewhat circumstantial), - the staunch non-cooperation by Kim Jong Il (whereas there was at least some cooperation from Iraq, although disturbingly minimal), - the additional deployment of troops to the border with South Korea and recent military showcases. I see more reason to "liberate" North Korea from a "treacherous dictator" who threatens to use "weapons of mass destruction" against "civilization". And didn't GWB warn NK that it CAN fight two wars at once? So why isn't this happening. I'll only give little credit to Bush in the sense that he was blindsided by the defiance of Kim Jong Il while he was trying to keep a lid on Saddam. But really, the only differences between SoDammed Insane and Kim with a Little-Dong Ill is that Iraq is more malnourished than NK is, and that Iraq has oil. NK doesn't. They are both insane dictators. But what NK does have that Iraq doesn't is the proven ability AND the resources to make WMDs. Can you say "Taepo Dong"? One of their missiles actually crossed Japan itself and smacked into the Pacific Ocean. Not the Sea of Japan, but the openness of the ocean itself. Besides, the peaceniks are all over with the arguments "No Blood For Oil" and "Livelihood may cost money, but Lives are Priceless". They'd be fumbling over what argument to make if the U.S. attacked North Korea. [/QB][/QUOTE]
