I haven't heard an explanation as to why we have to invade Iraq, when we DON'T have to invade N Korea -- even though it's N Korea that's explicitly, loudly threatening to build a nuclear weapon and to launch it at S Korea or Japan -- or us.

When you catch somebody robbing your locked gun cabinet, whether he got in or not makes a huge difference in how you deal with him.

Please provide a translator, because I do not understand what you've written here. All I know is that the N Koreans are explictly, openly threatening to wage war on us. But Bush says it's OK to respond with containment. Fine - - then the same response makes sense with Iraq - if it doesn't, I'd like an explanation why, not a cryptic undecipherable comment such as above.

Picture this...

Bush becomes silent, looks at his watch, and says...

"As of a minute ago, the liberation of Iraq began. Let's have a moment of silence...."

Excellent, thank you! I wish I had a way of boiling things down to such a simple message.
