I agree but for different reasons. The North Korean people have lived under a brutal dictatorship for long enough. I’ve heard and read about what goes on in there, and the average American would be shocked and horrified to actually know about it. But most are uninformed. Call me a war monger, but I think we could wipe up the place in about a week, and everyone would be better for it.

That was sort of the thinking about the war in Iraq. Take over the place and the people would be happy we were there. Didn’t work out.

"Take over the place and the people would be happy we were there. Didn’t work out."

First of all, we didn't take over Iraq. It's a free country. Secondly, we didn't handle it right. We decided we won the war but they didn't. Instead of forcing the enemy to surrender or wiping them out, Bush allowed the Iraq army to keep their weapons and blend back into the population, where they carried on the war by other means. Third, the people actually were happy about it. They got to vote without fear of being murdered in the night, and to choose their own government for a change. You're actually using a lot of liberal talking points by saying the people preferred tyranny instead of Democracy. Forth and finally, it's not a decision any one person can make. It's a decision needed by Congress, who represent the will of the people. But I don't think Americans have the will to do the right thing anymore.
