How many lives are you ready to lose as one of the worlds most unstable and lawless regimes starts selling nuclear weapons to syria, iran, hamas etc etc etc?
you act like there are only good choices. Sorry.. but there just aren't any good choices as long as the rest of the world is going to sit on their ass and do nothing.
Are you trying to make the argument that the world will be a better place with a nuclear armed N Korea who has been threatening war forever now.. and who still considers themselves at war. A weak government who is one of the worlds largest arms dealers to the worlds most unstable and hostile regimes.

You and your ilk were saying the same thing about Saddam for years. Now after over 4000 dead and a total cost in the neighborhood of $2 trillion, we're no better off than we were before.

Really? Iraq is a democracy where more people participate in elections than they do in the US.... and its a democracy right in the middle of a fragile and volatile area of the world that function as autocracies, theocracies, monarchies and terrorist states. We have a nice big fat military presence in the middle of the worlds most unstable region. That's a success.
and yeah... Saddam should have been killed during Kuwait... but "you and your ilk" as you put it, wouldn't hear of going into Baghdad and finishing the job.
The world will never be a Utopia full of nothing but rainbows and butterflies no matter how bad you want to see it that way. The fact of the matter is that many people want to see you dead... they don't want to discuss it. they don't want anything from you.. they don't want an apology... they just want to murder you and your family for what you stand for, where you live and what religion you choose to believe in.
