Is that so? I recall Saddam sending an envoy to tell the US that he'll even allow US troops in to inspect the country for WMD's. Not to mention that the UN inspectors where already in Iraq.
No options left in Iraq? How is that? The guy obviously was not even close to a threat, heck Powell on February 2001 said that Saddam isn't able to threaten any of his neighbours even with conventional weapons.

North Korea is different people with more knowledge then you or I on the subject think there are ways to handle this diplomatically. It is a totally different situation. There arent 20 U.N. Sanctions against North Korea. Additionaly, China, Russia, and Japan all are neighbors of North Korea. Which provides some leverage in our favor. In Iraq you had Iran and Saudia Arabia neither with a leverage on Saddam or Iraq. But, you want to debate what should be done in North Korea we could.

Really? Well we obviously invaded Iraq and are struggling in there, this might very well give ideas to a guy who's much more powerfull than Saddam. Bush is making the US look weak.
What leverage? Kim Jong Il doesn't really listen to anyone.
