I have to say Iran, North Korea and Syria were/are far more “imminent” threats than Iraq.

Not that Iraq wasn’t a problem, but Iran has been for years a bigger problem. Same with Syria.

North Korea and Iran both have nuts leading them, so I'd agree they are a threat. Syria's leadership doesn't seem as insane as the other two. Saddam was an outright psycho.
