While the NK system as a whole is beyond fricked up (obviously), that's really not part of this situation, unless you want to post-facto go back and say because Saddam was a bad person as well that makes military action in Iraq justified?

the justification for war with Iraq was based in allegedly violating UN regulations, not national security. it was a bad policy

the justification for war with NK is legitimate national security. it's not comparable to Iraq

quote:

Kim is paranoid, isolated, and scared to death.

are you saying this to create sympathy with Un? you've said it at least 3 times now

nothing has prevented Un from reshaping the ruling regime of NK. instead, he's gone in the other direction and become more radical, all the while, domestically, being a terrible despot and truly evil ruler.

again, how can you defend the Kim family?

North Korea not reforming isn't that surprising. After our inaction in Ukraine and Georgia, I wouldn't expect anyone to try and strike a deal with the US in a dire foreign policy situation.

The talking points coming from the left on this legit have my blood boiling. It's as if they think the Iraq playbook against Bush is applicable to every military situation.

officially, but at the time you couldn't turn around without a Bush apologist playing the "Saddam is evil" card as well. it was definitely a factor in the run up.

then why do you keep talking about how evil Kim is?

No, I'm trying to rationally look at the situation because my goal is to avoid a nuclear war.
