@nakji12 Please do not compare North Korea to a middle-eastern nation. Look at Iran, a country based on Islamic principles and as such can not be trusted. They are unpredictable and this makes them very dangerous. Mutually Assured Destruction is all well and good in theory but when a nation is run by a religion that states killing an infidel will result in eternal happiness in the afterlife, i see a problem. They are unlike anything else, they are unpredictable villains.

@nakji12 You can't just make statements like, "the invasion of any nation can only ever be justified if that nation poses imminent threat to world peace". Who says? just you? Where do you draw the line on genocidal dicatatorship? 100,000 slaughtered? 1 million? 10 million? Still not enough?

"World peace": Couldn't you define that as any act that breaches peace in the world? Dont you agree that the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands would breach world peace?

@No1Brawler at the cost of 800,000 Iraqi civilians. less than 2 million Iraqis have fled to Iran, along with close to 1 million Afghans. So when does the US plan to attack North Korea then, oh no thats right they dont attack people that are actually armed do they.

@grimblebrumble17889 We can all have different opinions on what we "think" was the real motivation for the Iraq invasion, but the fact remains. George Bush believed Saddam Hussein had WMD's and as a result invaded Iraq. There are not far worse people than Saddam, not including Iran's leaders. He did not cost the lives of 100,000's of innocents. He destoryed a genocidal, infanticidal dictator who had killed 100,000's of kurds and may have killed thousands more if still alive.

[grimblebrumble17889]

@No1Brawler You beleive what you want but everyone knows that the last thing this was about was weapons and tyranny. There are far worse and more dangerous people in the world than Saddam and in any job there comes accountability .If someone is so incompetent as to make a mistake that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocents than it is just that persons head be put on a pike. Mistakes must be punished as much as delibarate wrongdoing.

@grimblebrumble17889 Punished for what? Attacking a nation that Intel states has WMD's? You would be singing a different tune if George Bush didn't invade Iraq and the US ended up getting hit. Yes, he made a big mistake, but the mistake could not be avoided if Intel did give him valid reasons for believing Iraq had WMD's. Let's also say that it wasn't all for nothing, that the US did capture a dictator that killed housands of thousands of people and that US soldiers died for a reason.

[grimblebrumble17889]

@No1Brawler And if they got it wrong then they should be punished? Any other job in the world mistakes are dealt with in an appropriate manner, except when it comes to the buisness of killing folks.

@Directthis135 Take a look at Iran, i bet you believe the US shouldn't wage war on them because a few thousand US soldiers may die. No one wants US soldiers to die, but let us look at the bigger picture. Iran will get nuclear weapons in the near future, then what do you suggest? The USA as the prime leader of the world should distinguish this tyranny before now while it can.

[No1Brawler]

@Directthis135 I understand your frustrations. But please don't compare the suffering of americans to the suffering seen in third world countries. Think what you will of George W. Bush, but compared to the dictators in the middle-east, he is a saint. Saddam Hussein burried hundreds of thousands of Kurds alive.

George W. Bush went to war with Iraq because he believed Saddam Hussein had WMD's, if that is what the intel told him at the time, that is more than enough reason to wage war.
