Which implies I still think Iraq had terrorist ties... I just dont see how you can defend they didnt.... they had a terroist training camp for petes sake...
What did the world ever do for us? Why do we need them to love us so much? Id be happy if they loved us and were proud for all the good we do... But, Id settle to be respected...
The difference between most countries with WMD programs is they aren't attacking their neighbors, using them on their own people... and a known enemy of the us....
North Korea, in my take, are waiting for the elections in hope Kerry wins to get a more favorable shake in there deal to disarm... or maybe get out of it all together..
Iran, doesnt stand a chance... well blow there nuclear reactor up before its up and going... if we cant deal with them diplomatically...

The terrorist training camp was just off the border of Iran in Kurdish territory in the no-fly zone. Saddam and the central gov't had no control over that area.
Do you want America to be an isolationist country being basically unilateral in most actions or would you rather we had allies in trade and future predicaments?
Saddam hadn't done anything like attacking a neighbor since the last time he was spanked for it in the Gulf War. When the Kurds in the North were gassed, pre-Gulf War, we blamed it on Iran.
North Korea is going to get the shit end of the stick regardless of who gets elected.
I agree about Iran. They don't stand a chance whether it is us or Israel who take out the reacter. Either way the backlash probably won't be pretty. Their reactors are up, they just announced they are going to start uranium enrichment programs "for energy". Diplomacy isn't going to work there unless we support all the grass roots movements for a democratic Iran. It might happen in our lifetime. I certainly hope so. Unfortunately thanks to our ally who got a verbal lashing and nothing more for supplying half the world with nuclear secrets we don't have a lifetime. If we did take out an Iranian reactor, I'm not sure we have the troops or structure to have 3 occupations simultaneously if they retaliated.
