Saddam's an evil bastard and a potential threat (well, not as much anymore). Give him his psyche and the fact that he was ruling a nation sitting on about a trillion dollars worth of black gold, and he starts looking like a reasonable target.
Despite being in practically a third world country, it was "possible" for Saddam to have the WoMD, even if not probable. Controlling oil put Saddam into a power position where he could buy some weapons when needed. Oh yeah, and did I mention he is an evil bastard? ¦¬Þ
North Korea may claim to have Nukage... if they don't, they aren't a threat, and if they do... we better not make them a threat. Y'see, if Saddam really did have the WoMD, the odds of him using them in combat when we hunted him down was slim, as he'd get himself even
more killed. Instead of hiding out like he is now, he'd've gotten himself bombed to hell. I guess somebody knew this and took a chance.
North Korea, on the other hand, wants us to know that they have the capability to nuke. Well, if that's the case... then what would keep them from using the nukes if we attacked them? There's a chance that the validity of their claims is being investigated but not televised. Also, North Korea doesn't plan on launching those nukes if we're not already attacking, as a launched nuke
would provoke an attack and get them all killed needlessly. What it appears is that NK is wanting to bait the US into bribing them to not use their WoMD.
I back the fact that Bush drove Saddam out of Iraq. I wish they could have guaranteed Saddam's death... but getting him out of control was a good step. Getting rid of the threat to the United States will take steps. In some ways, the seizing of Iraq has put the US back, but in others, they've advanced. In all, I feel the Iraq "war" was for the better. I may be wrong though/
