The whole point is that we can't go into N. Korea like we did iraq, because first of all with iraq we tried 12 years to disarm them. Secondly if we go and talk to them, then that sets the precident that to get out attention, start breaking treaties and ordinances. That's like buying a kid a toy that he wants just to shut him up, he will just nag you everytime till he gets what he wants.
Iraq wasn't forced down our throats, he tried to take over kuwait in 90, we stepped in, rightfully so in my opinion. The war ended, he agreed to the terms and conditions, then started breaking them days after he signed them. The conditions of his surrender didn't let him possess these weapons, then a UN resoultion came into play that also said he couldnt have these weapons.
The only difference was that between the bushes, we had a president who was uninterested. That gave saddam the greenlight to basically throw a party while the parents are away. The parents came home, 12 fuckin years he has swindled, lied and done it all while laughing in the face of the US, The UN and everyone else.
I can't honestly see why people don't see that, I dunno why it all has to be "Waa waa it's about oil"
Yes other hostile countries may possess weapons. But to basically say, we can't do this here cause look over there. That will give everyone the go ahead to do the same, then what? The other countries didnt sign agreements to not arm themselves, the other countries haven't had 12 years of chances to comply. Saddam wouldn't be a pimple on our ass if he simply just followed his promises and didn't start something he couldn't finish.
