    Right, here's my point which you strawmanned the out of:

    If the USA actually wanted to go after a dangerous country with WMDs and an imprisoned populous it would have invaded NK instead of Iraq
    Go ahead and believe your government though. The Iraq war was definitely about liberating their population from a tyrant with WMDs.

    You aren't aware that North Korea didn't exist until after that war.

    Go ahead and believe we would do any better invading North Korea the second time.

    I don't necessarily believe that, but it would actually be justified.

    North Korea IS run by a tyrannical dictator and DOES have WMDs, and if the USA wasn't lying then NK would clearly be TARGET NUMBER ONE.

    The USA picked a really stupid lie to justify invasion of Iraq due to the existence of NK.

    And, it exists because we settled for a cease fire because we had fought to a tie. Otherwise, the entire Korean peninsula would look like North Korea and my wife's best friend would most likely be dead instead of practicing medicine in America.

    There's the small matter that al Qaeda would have been less likely to pour into North Korea, so we could kill them like roaches, than they were to pour into Iraq...which they did by the 10's of thousands and of which we killed by the 10's of thousands.

    There's a strategery here, try to think globally, greyforest.

    Also, it appears North Korea is in for some type of change. Let's hope Dear Leader's passing will open an opportunity for Democratic reforms in the peninsula.

    I saw this on a CNN article response on Saturday. I couldn't find information anywhere else about it, but the response talked about Kim's death in past tense.

    That's a terrible justification for Iraq. Those suckers are like Mr. Smith in The Matrix.

    It wasn't the only justification but, if you're going to differentiate between North Korea and Iraq, it's a strong point.

    That and not drawing China into a conflict while you're already fighting on one other front.

    Then, of course, you start with all the justifications in the AUMF in Iraq that, alone, justified our action in Iraq.
