he's trying to refrain from provoking violence. North Korea has troops positoned within miles of South Korea's capitol city. If they decided that they wanted to attack them, it would be a bloodbath.

Because Saddam had put out a contract for a hit on Daddy in 1991 and one of the first things Bush said when he went into office - long before 9/11 - was that he was going to remove Saddam from power. Kim Il Jung is a fool like Bush which means eventually they'll kiss and make up. Iraq was a vendetta - there's been no threats against Daddy from No. Korea.

He is treating North Korea like Iraq was treated in the beginning. Diplomacy, etc. Hussein had plenty of time to play nice, he just didn't. Plus, I think N. Korea lacks the capability that Hussein was thought to have, or did have. As the threat grows, so will out reaction.
Also, I think that the government does alot of stuff that is not on the nightly news..and for good reason. They can't broadcast everything they do, there are tv's in North Korea too... ;)

Because he is a moron.
I am a Bush backer for the most part, but he got this one wrong. He never should have been mucking around in Iraq when North Korea and Iran are the real WMD dealers.

Did ya ever think what if Bush and the Military does have a plan but are not saying crap about ti because the New York Times gives away Military Secrets.
If I were President right now I would be taking acting but I would not say a word to the Public about what I was doing till after the Job is done.

Because he knows that North Korea actually has the capability of posing a threat to us, while he knew that at least HE wouldn't have anything to worry about when going into Iraq.

Easy. North Korea is a credible threat. There was no credible threat in Iraq, and Bush knew it. He was interested in removing Saddam because of his interest in big oil. A lot of Bush's wealth is tied up in oil. A lot of Bush's friends' wealth is tied up in oil.

They have nukes. 5th largest army in the world.
China won't like it very much if we invaded N. Korea, and China pretty much tells us what to do. (just shop at Walmart)
We don't want to mess with China. Same reason we still don't offically recognize Taiwan a democratic nation, because China would get crazy on us.
Oil is important, but so is cheap labor to keep our trade deficit economy chugging along.
