Who has N. Korea attacked since the 1950s? Where is this info about N. Korea killing mass amounts of its own citizens?
The United States has never killed or subjegated its citizens?
What about all the other dictators around the world that attack others and crush any and all opposition. Why arent we helping them see the light of US style democracy?
China has nukes and kills its own citizens routinely. Why not attack them?

These arguments all miss the point. We do not treat every nation the same, because they are all different. China, and formerly the U.S.S.R, of course killed more millions than others. But we adopted the path we did (50 years of cold war at U.S. taxpayers expense) because it was the most logical course of action. Obviously we could not attack a country with thousands of nukes????
You might think North Korea has been peaceful for 50 years, but then again your country doesn't have 37,000 soldiers there - the minimum number required to keep Pork Chop from invading again. Don't think for a second that if it wasn't for the U.S. - N. Korea would have took over the south years ago, grabbed their wealth and used it to purchase a couple thousand nukes.
This argument that just because we are going to clean up Iraq, we have to do it everywhere, is illogical. If you can name another country that has:
1. Used weapons of mass destruction on its own citizens and neigbors.
2. Will nuke the U.S. 20 minutes after it gets a prototype.
3. Whose presdent personally kills oponents by strangling them.
4. Who means to control the worlds oil supply.
Then we will probably attack them too. Sadaam should be attacked based on his bad breath alone. Everything else is just an extra provocation.
PS: You actually are not aware that millions are starving in North Korea because of their insane leader?
