The reason we invaded Iraq instead of North Korea is that we'd have had a hell of a time defeating North Korea. Oh, we would win if we fought them, but the cost in lives would be much, much, much higher. What's scary to consider is that the ultimate cost of invading Iraq may reach 2 trillion dollars. If IRAQ cost that much, it's just unfathomable how much a war with North Korea could cost. Of course, we wouldn't really have to occupy North Korea -- the South Koreans could do that better than we ever could.
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . US dismisses North Korea threat Ok. Now I need to think about this. Hmmm. A communist nation known to have some of the worst human rights records threatens the US with a nuclear weapon if we attack them, yet Iraq got their asses kicked in the Gulf War and made no threat to us and had no ties to Al-Qaeda and the US invades them. That really doesn't make any sense. Seems like the US is a bunch of bullies who invades defenseless nations. ------------------------------------------------------------ Rating: 5
