Yeah, I know he's everybody's friend now, but why didn't it seem a good idea to remove him then, when he was everybody's enemy? I mean to remove him exactly like Saddam was removed.
Neither is North Korea now. There is a ceasefire agreement which both sides more or less observe.
I am concerned about the Syrian and Iranean involvement in the Iraqi situation. Iran is a special case, but Syria could have been and should have been neutralized without a serious military involvement. Standards may have changed after 9/11, but I wonder how much.
This is strictly IMHO; I am not an expert. I just hate to see diplomats and military people fighting each other instead of fighting a common enemy.
