[quote:Anonymous Coward 152807:MV8yOTk5NDNfNTE4MjEwOF9BRjY4MDUzRg==] Iraq had bombed several of it's neighbors and invaded Kuwait when we finally went in in Gulf War I. They had even used WMD's (gas) on their own people, wiping out a village in the Kurdish territory. When we responded in GWI, they signed terms of surrender (cease fire agreement) that included nt being an asshole to their neighbors and not gassing their own citizens. We patroled the no-fly zones over Iraq theu the signed terms of this cease fire agreement to monitor hostilities against the Kurds and movement of scuds to bomb neighbors again, and Saddam in violation of the terms he signed, kept firing on our UN sanctioned air patrols, so the cease fire was broken by him. Add to this that he kept calling for a 'Jihad' against the US (one you can search that I recall off the top of my head was his Christmas 1999 speech), and was funding terrorists including forking over cash to Hezbollah (the Sunni wing of terrorism). So given his past history of royally fucking up the region, something had to be done to contain him. Because he kept shooting at our planes, which we were using to contain him, it was appropriate to remove him. North Korea on the other hand built nukes with the reactor that Bill Clinton gave him, along with a wad of cash, based on his promise *wink*wink* that it would be used for civilian purposes. So we have little justification to go in, plus the threat Kim poses is not as well documented by historical actions as was Iraq. [/quote]

They are very quiet about this compared to the Iraq war drum beating.
